[gentoo-dev] Possible USE="gnome" abusing in ebuilds.

[Samuli Suominen]

Hi,

Recently, I've edited or bumped some ebuilds which had USE gnome in
them but it was actually doing something entirely different in them,
like latest edition of media-libs/raptor had USE gnome pulling in glib
which it was using for unicode purposes (so USE unicode was natural
choice but only gnome users had it until now)

I'm not pointing or blaming anyone but next time you edit an ebuild
which is using USE gnome please check what it is actually doing and
note that GLIB and GTK+ is NOT gnome

Thanks, drac
