I'd suggest not a USE flag, at least, not at present, it would |
| 8 |
needlessly require all ebuilds to have that useflag, which would be a |
| 9 |
significant noise to users. |

| 11 |
I'd rather a documented( in the eclass ) ENV variable that could |
| 12 |
toggle this behaviour that was /not/ a use-flag, so only people who |
| 13 |
cared about that sort of behaviour could adjust it. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
Then the question is only really as to what a "Sane default" is. Seems |
| 16 |
the sane default is to install packlists, but have it being |
| 17 |
disable-able by ENV change for the people who have the tuits to know |
| 18 |
"I'll never need those, and if I do, I can handle the need to rebuild |
| 19 |
everything with them". |

|
| 21 |
Additionally, it /might/ be nice if we could have a 3rd party ( Gentoo |
| 22 |
) tool that reads a dists CONTENTS file and re-creates packlist files |
| 23 |
when needed, but thats more work than the above at present. =) |
