I've just started whipping up a samhain ebuild and I was immediately |
| 2 |
struck by the question of how to deal with determining the client/server |
| 3 |
role (I'm interested in centralized monitoring) of the machine during |
| 4 |
ebuild installation. Basically you have to enable client/server role at |
| 5 |
configuration time. So I either have to prompt the user interactively |
| 6 |
(something I haven't seen done in an ebuild and seems to run contrary to |
| 7 |
the nature of portage) or determine it with something like a use flag. But |
| 8 |
I also seem to remember something about a policy against adding use flag |
| 9 |
willy-nilly to Portage. What's the preferred way to deal with a situation |
| 10 |
like this? |
