Yes it is a bad idea; policy belongs with users. It shouldn't be |
| 7 |
hardcoded into ebuilds, whether across the whole tree or per package. |

But ... I realise I'm flogging a dead horse here. |

We'll come up with a new revision of the PHP packages which builds |
| 12 |
*something* no matter how broken the combination of USE flags are. |
| 13 |
We'll test it first in our overlay, and then when we're happy we'll |
| 14 |
add them to the tree for testing and eventual stabilisation. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
We'll also provide a replacement for 'built_with_use', which works |
| 17 |
with what the package was actually compiled with, rather than what USE |
| 18 |
flags the user originally specified. This will be needed for all the |
| 19 |
web-based apps that are written in PHP. That might take a bit longer, |
| 20 |
and might have to follow in a later revision. |

As already pointed out, all this will have to be revisited when |
| 23 |
Portage supports USE-based deps. |
