Howdy all, |

Further questions regarding use.desc have come up with regard to this |
4 |
GLEP. My proposed solution would be a potential amendment to the GLEP to |
5 |
state that |
6 |
|
7 |
<flag name='png' /> |
8 |
|
9 |
Would be allowed. This syntax is not actually disallowed or allowed by |
10 |
the current GLEP, but mentioning it would allow a metadata.xml contain |
11 |
all the USE flags that appear in IUSE, even the global ones. By using |
12 |
the above syntax, it would simply state that there is no additional |
13 |
descriptions or details but to just use the use.desc description. |
14 |
|
15 |
Further more, it would allow us in the future to make that mandatory and |
16 |
repoman would only have to check metadata.xml for your USE flag. |

Comments, Suggestions, Input are all welcome. |
