Hi, |

I was pointed by a user that the gimp ebuilds configure run produces warnings |
| 4 |
about unrecognized options. |
| 5 |
Looks like this: |
| 6 |
configure: WARNING: Unrecognized options: --with-hal, --without-wmf |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
A short grep over my portage logdir showed lots of these in various packages. |
| 9 |
My suggestion would be that we add a QA warning to portage for every econf |
| 10 |
call causing such a warning. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
Probably there are mostly two reasons when such a warning occurs: |
| 13 |
- The ebuild writer thinks there must be an option for en/disabling foo, |
| 14 |
though adding use_enable/use_with foo, although it's autodetected. We have an |
| 15 |
automagic dep. |
| 16 |
- The option was there in previous versions, but got removed (i.e. is now |
| 17 |
default / can't be built without foo any more). |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
Both cases should be fixed and may hide other bugs, though a QA warning would |
| 20 |
be good. |

|
| 22 |
Thoughts? |
