Going off of the mod_perl example, if a user types "emerge mod_perl", |
| 9 |
portage tells them its ambiguous, then they have to retype "emerge www- |
| 10 |
apache1/mod_perl", thats more time they have to spend to install the |
| 11 |
package. The more productivity we can give the better, we shouldn't |
| 12 |
take the easy route out just because it saves us some work. Personally |
| 13 |
I'm in favor of something like apache/apache2 USE flags. |
