Just to make it clear if it wasn't: although some comments made |
| 8 |
it derive toward USE_EXPANDed vars, the above bug was at the |
| 9 |
begining about advertising any kind of unusual vars that influence |
| 10 |
ebuilds. Whether they are USE_EXPANDed or not is an internal |
| 11 |
technical detail that the user should not really care about. I |
| 12 |
don't even know whether ALSA_CARDS is USE_EXPANDed for instance (at |
| 13 |
least, the alsa-driver ebuild doesn't use it as such), but what |
| 14 |
matters to me is that i know i have to list sound drivers for my |
| 15 |
system there. As for LIRC_OPTS, i'm sure it is not USE_EXPANDed, |
| 16 |
but still it lacks documentation for people who don't read the |
| 17 |
ebuilds before emerging them. |

So i don't think this bug is really relevant in this discussion. |

It has more to do with the idea (which was in the air at some |
| 21 |
point iirc) of whitelisting vars that should be allowed to enter the |
| 22 |
ebuild environment, and the possibility for ebuilds to declare some |
| 23 |
addition to the standard whitelist. |
