I see no hurry in changing the USE flag name, unless I can do it in |
9 |
profile/updates so that it is updated in make.conf, package.use and so |
10 |
on and on. Can I? I vaguely remember sometimes seeing etc-update having |
11 |
updates to package.use, but I think those were for package moves, not |
12 |
USE flag renames. |
13 |
If I can't, a change in the USE flag name will disrupt users without |
14 |
much necessity. |

I should s/wxWindows/wxWidgets/ in the USE flag description though. |

A herd name change would be less disruptive, as people (and mostly bug |
19 |
wranglers at that) would have to just figure out they need to assign and |
20 |
CC to wxwidgets@g.o instead of wxwindows@g.o then. |
21 |
I planned to rename the herd at some point, but it got onto a backburner |
22 |
with certain things being way behind in the wx world in Gentoo and it |
23 |
not being too important compared to the technical things to solve. |
24 |
Will probably have infra and bugzie guys take care of it later this |
25 |
year, though, regarding the herd name... |
