O have to disagree/agree. |
| 13 |
you can already do "source /some/other/place/useflags" and declare |
| 14 |
local USE flags there.. |
| 15 |
or, as I have mine structured: |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
GNOME="gnome esound gtk gtk2" |
| 18 |
KDE="-kde -arts -qt" |
| 19 |
CRYPT="crypt ssl gpg ldap" |
| 20 |
USE="${GNOME} ${KDE} ${CRYPT} ipv6" |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
if you take care to re-define variables, and add a nice blank line |
| 24 |
before, then etc-update won't barf on the config and think you changed |
| 25 |
as much, meaning merge will be simpler. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
So in this term, I'm against doing any modifications to the current |
| 29 |
system, theres little need to do so, and to split configuration from |
| 30 |
documentation is a bad thing in a configfile of this sort. |
