Because I want to know WHY this flag is required to be in use.defaults |
| 18 |
vs a normal flag? Because maybe flags were added in the past to cover |
| 19 |
situation X and now that situation is fixed another way and we can pull |
| 20 |
the flag out of use.defaults. |

Right..cvs ann...how do I do that from viewCVS again? :) |

In the end I just wonder at the use of these things. They are both |
| 32 |
helpful and bad. Fex, canna is in there, probably to tell the system |
| 33 |
that I have canna installed. However, I don't think auto-use should be |
| 34 |
for that purpose. If I want to tell portage that I have canna installed |
| 35 |
and applications should add canna support, I should set USE=canna. |
| 36 |
Yeah, I may have to recompile some stuff b/c I forgot to set it prior, |
| 37 |
but IMHO thats my fault, not the build-systems. |

Mostly this cropped up from me installing sqlite, for supybot, which |
| 40 |
needs sqlite for it's karma storage. Fine by me. Then I go to install |
| 41 |
php and find it wants to pull in some fandangled php->sqlite deal and I |
| 42 |
go wtf, I don't have that set...ohhh use.defaults... Why the hell is |
| 43 |
sqlite in use.defaults?!? That kind of deal. There are a lot of odd |
| 44 |
situations where I think use.defaults is useful ( although there are |
| 45 |
times where i wish people would just add to make.defaults in profile so |
| 46 |
I can nuke it there ). I'd just like to know why the flag is being |
| 47 |
forced on. The same reason why I want to know why a package is p.masked. |
