Well I have no problem with changing it again, but our user base might |
17 |
get a little tired. At least we should put a lot of information out |
18 |
about the change before going forward with it. We currently still have |
19 |
the mozilla use flags in the ebuilds and I would not like to see three |
20 |
different use flags for browser plugins in the ebuilds. Something like a |
21 |
USE flag move would be a nice feature for portage (to update |
22 |
/etc/portage/package.use). |
