What about the users that are changing there default DocumentRoot's? |
17 |

Such and enviroment variable would make things quite less complex. |

It does not behave this way for me, try USE=-apache2 with KEYWORDS=~x86 |
32 |
while wanting to keep an apache2 from getting installed. |
33 |
|
34 |
Aparently the apache2 use flag was introduced to break the tie if both |
35 |
apache 1 and apache 2 were installed but very few people are using it |
36 |
correctly though, thus the need for these things to be addressed by an |
37 |
eclass vrs everybodys the ebuilds themselfs. |
