Yeah but... flaggie interprets all such files and it is able to keep |
| 14 |
them clean by just editing it at the right place (well, mostly) |
| 15 |
instead of having the same package being tweaked at mutiple places |
| 16 |
back and forth again. |

Oh, yes, please. "Just" something that does the monkey work of |
| 25 |
such flag manipulations. |

BTW: I'd really love to keep flaggie until there is your cool new |
| 28 |
flaggie2 and I'm very willing to ignore my bug report: |
