You didn't follow up on the thread you started which turned out to advocate |
| 11 |
(at least I interpreted it this way) for a distinct 'examples' USE flag, |
| 12 |
perhaps renamed, so I pushed a little :) |

What if examples was used like a doc subflag ? The point is that some |
| 19 |
people may want docs but not examples (if they know the API well for |
| 20 |
example) (and rarely examples but no docs i suspect) and it should be |
| 21 |
supported by ebuilds, if possible in a general way. What would you say |
| 22 |
if Karl or myself add 'examples' local USE flags for some ebuilds ? |
