It will turn off unless it is enabled somewhere else. |

This is more of a releng/basesystem question rather than a portage question. |

Makes no difference to me as a user as I have USE="-* ..." in make.conf. ;) |

Message logging will come in at the same time so it might be better to do |
| 24 |
something like: |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
portageq has_version ${ROOT} sys-fs/udev && use !udev && ( |
| 27 |
ewarn "You have udev installed but do not the udev USE flag enabled." |
| 28 |
ewarn "${PN} might behave incorrectly." |
| 29 |
) |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
Except with better bash style of course.. But that's just what I'd do. Once |
| 32 |
proper logging goes in, it'd be a good idea for policies on things like this |
| 33 |
to be developed. |
