Obviously because default-linux/x86 is the only profile worth looking at :) |
| 14 |
Try looking at the default use flags for say, the s390 profile :) |
| 15 |

I still agree with your point "stuff in both places" but I think it's more |
| 17 |
of an "it's there because it doesn't work right otherwise" rather than |
| 18 |
some sort of USE flag conspiracy ;) |

I believe in the current implementation of use.defaults the use flag is |
| 37 |
not propagated backwards through the buildplan. So you "USE="-everything |
| 38 |
in /etc/make.profile/make.defaults" emerge xmms alsa" and xmms won't have |
| 39 |
the ALSA use flag set, because alsa was merged second. I'd have to double |
| 40 |
check with Jason or Brian though..haven't talked about implentation of |
| 41 |
use.defaults in a while *pokes*. |
