The problem that I see with native_built_with_use is that the |
| 12 |
package manager will then need to precisely implement the |
| 13 |
build_with_use interface along with any and all supported options |
| 14 |
(and this interface would effectively become part of the EAPI). |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
If the package manager exposes a slightly lower level interface to |
| 17 |
the USE flags then build_with_use can use that instead, and the |
| 18 |
package manager won't have to implement the full build_with_use |
| 19 |
interface. For example, portageq currently supports a "metadata" |
| 20 |
command that can be used to query installed package metadata such as |
| 21 |
USE and IUSE. Perhaps we should use some type of interface similar |
| 22 |
to that. |
