This was noticed recently when getting: |

Also hit this problem today while trying to bump bluez and noticed we |
5 |
are using elog messages to tell people to manually install |
6 |
net-dialup/ppp if they want ppp working with bluez. |

I am unsure about the disadvantages of simply using, for example, "ppp" |
9 |
USE flag to do that. One important disadvantage of current "elog message |
10 |
way" is that: |
11 |
1. We rely in people reading the message to get package working ok. |
12 |
2. If user emerges ppp, it will be recorded in world file and, then, if |
13 |
in the future he removes bluez, emerge --depclean want clean no longer |
14 |
needed ppp and then, people end up with a lot of packages they needed to |
15 |
manually emerge some year but that they problem no longer need at all. |
