The "modules" USE flag was originally enabled by default in the base |
| 2 |
profile so that any ebuild inheriting linux-mod.eclass would have its |
| 3 |
kernel modules built by default. However, the name of that USE flag is |
| 4 |
now controlled by the MODULES_OPTIONAL_USE variable, set in the ebuild |
| 5 |
itself. The best place for the USE flag default is therefore in IUSE |
| 6 |
(in the ebuild), because only the ebuild knows the correct flag name. |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
There are at least two packages, media-gfx/graphicsmagick and |
| 9 |
net-im/mcabber, that assign a different meaning to the "modules" flag, |
| 10 |
further suggesting that a global default is too blunt an approach. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
This commit drops the flag from base/make.defaults, and also from |
| 13 |
default/linux/make.defaults where a redundant entry was present. |
| 14 |
Thereafter, the override in features/hardened/make.defaults is |
| 15 |
unnecessary, so it has been dropped as well. |
