One feature that would be more useful (in my honest on Tuesdays |
8 |
opinion) for us arch folks is the ability to mask use flags on a |
9 |
per-package basis. Often times use flags will work for 99% of the |
10 |
packages they are used in, but the other 1% will not. Currently the |
11 |
workaround is to just make the ebuild ignore that use flag on that arch, |
12 |
but there's no real indication to the user that the workaround is |
13 |
thwarting their use flag preferences (unless the arch monkey is nice |
14 |
enough to put in some einfo love). |
