8 Rather than use flags against the gentoo-sources...why not use flags against
9 the appropriate vanilla versions? Should clear up the tree a bunch, and then
10 you could have -
11 vanilla-sources (with use wolk,xfs,ck,etc)
12 dev-sources (with use mm,whatever)
13 gentoo-sources
14 ppc-sources
15 other-sources..
16 I know it'd be a bunch of work to change em over, but it'd leave the
17 gentoo-sources from getting clashed and should be easier to keep track of
18 one ebuild with different useflags than fifteen ebuilds..or it could be time
19 for my medication again:)
