Subject: About time to unify "cdda" and "cdaudio" USE flags and make the remaining one global?
Date: Sat, 4 Jul 2009 12:03:57 +0200
Hi list,

while finally doing some bug-wrangling again, I stumbled about [1] where a 
user requested to unify "cdda" and "cdaudio" USE flags.
After leaving a request for further opinions about this in #-bugs I only got 
one reply:

14:11:28 <+Poly-C_atwork> Any idea what to do about bug #274818? Is there some 
real distinction between cdaudio and cdda? If no would it be worth to request 
the removal of one of these two flags in favor of the other one?
...
16:16:25 <+yngwin> Poly-C_atwork: looks to me that cdda and cdaudio are indeed 
the same
16:16:38 <+yngwin> and together they are used in 8 packages
16:16:46 <+yngwin> so it's time for a global use flag
16:17:04 <+yngwin> as cdda is the official term, that has my preference

So what do you think? Should we convert the bug into a tracker and open bugs 
for any package using the USE-flag that should be converted into the other 
one?
