Does anyone know why net-irc/xchat uses the local USE flag xchatnogtk |
| 2 |
instead of looking at the global flag gtk? |

net-irc/xchat:xchatnogtk - Disables building the GTK front end to XChat |

>From use.desc: |

gtk - Adds support for x11-libs/gtk+ (The GIMP Toolkit) |

Seems like xchatnogtk is simply duplicating the intended effect of -gtk |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
By the way, I checked Bugzilla in case this had already be raised and |
| 13 |
addressed. |

Also, a small etiquette question resulting from this email: |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
In future, should queries like this be sent: |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
1. directly to the maintainer of the package (using the herd email alias |
| 20 |
when no specific maintainer is listed in metadata.xml)? |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
2. to gentoo-dev (since it's ebuild-related)? |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
3. to gentoo-user (so the devs can continue important discussions on |
| 25 |
gentoo-dev)? |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
4. bugzilla (although who am I to second-guess devs, esp if there turns |
| 28 |
out to be a perfectly good reason for it)? |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
5. some mysterious place as-yet-unknown-to-me place? :-) |

Thanks in advance |
