Uh, no it wouldn't. Part of the reason we have no* flags is to avoid |
| 12 |
dep problems. Consider: |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
USE="!foo? ( some_unavailable_on_x86_package )" |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
versus: |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
USE="nofoo? ( some_unavailable_on_x86_package )" |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
The nofoo flag can be use masked. The foo flag can't. This patch solves |
| 21 |
that problem. |
