Not to mention that users tend to use ebuilds from Portage as |
| 10 |
references when writing their own ebuilds. IMO, it is very important |
| 11 |
that *all* ebuilds be correct so that mistakes are not parrotted by |
| 12 |
ebuild writers who do not really understand shell scripting. |

The 'if use !X' syntax that spyderous brought up (at least, I think it |
| 15 |
was spyderous) should not be used except in the case he mentioned, |
| 16 |
making use-enable more readable, and even then, it would not hurt to |
| 17 |
put a comment in the ebuild. |
