How about a VIDEO_DRIVERS enviroment var thats set in make.conf or command |
| 30 |
line, that let the ebuild checks for - if its something like 'trident fb |
| 31 |
i810', then it builds those, if its not set or empty, then it builds |
| 32 |
everything. i think your able to specify alsa drivers in some ebuild that |
| 33 |
way |

again, the 'doc' USE flag |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
Wasn't there a GLEP about USE flag grouping? just make '-doc -fancycursors |
| 41 |
minimal -fonts' in a USE flag group, when/if that functionality gets into |
| 42 |
