I had a USE blocker give me a list, recently, and it was mildly |
| 11 |
irritating to have to sort out which of the several USE flags were wrong. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
In my case it was in kdelibs-9999.4 in the KDE overlay, complaining about |
| 14 |
qt4, recent changes according to the forum, but it still took me a bit to |
| 15 |
figure out which USE flag it was, even tho I had read about them, because |
| 16 |
there were several flags in the list, all of which seemed set on first |
| 17 |
glance -- but I missed accessibility. So even knowing about it in |
| 18 |
advance, the list wasn't as clear as naming the specific flag would have |
| 19 |
been. |

Still, I agree a list is better than having to recompile it several times |
| 22 |
over! =8^) |
