A couple hundred? I think that alone justifies my statetment that x86 |
| 9 |
is far too diverse to configure via USE Flags. We already have 176 |
| 10 |
global useflags (line count in /usr/portage/profiles/use.desc) and 187 |
| 11 |
local useflags (line count in /usr/portage/profiles/use.local.desc). |
| 12 |
All these useflags are spread across the ~5000 packages in Portage. |
| 13 |
Adding another "couple hundred" specifically for x86 kernels alone is |
| 14 |
overkill to the point of using C4 explosive to clear out a yellow jacket |
| 15 |
nest in the ground. |
