It seems we have the following behaviour when unset: |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
FRITZCAPI_CARDS => Selective based on "pcmcia" and "usb" USE flags |
| 18 |
FCDSL_CARDS => All |
| 19 |
VIDEO_CARDS => Dies |
| 20 |
INPUT_DEVICES => None |
| 21 |
LINGUAS => All |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
It would be nice to unify the behaviour among these. I like either the "All" |
| 24 |
or the "Dies" option though. While the FRITZCAPI_CARDS behaviour is 'probably |
| 25 |
what the user wants', it is not predictable. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
Any reason why INPUT_DEVICES is needed in USE_EXPAND rather than just as local |
| 28 |
USE flags? It's kind of the odd one out among the above. |
