1 Hi,
2
3 I'm curious about what the IUSE flag should be set to in an ebuild.
4 Does it contain all possible values that the package could use or
5 should it contain conditional type statements? ie. If a package
6 needs ncurses, and could possibly use ipv6 and socks5 as a configure
7 option should it be
8
9 IUSE="ncurses ipv6 socks5"
10
11 where in the src_conf section it contains:
12
13 use ipv6 && "${myconf} --enable-ipv6"
14 use socks5 && "${myconf} --enable-socks5"
15 etc.
16
17
18 or something different?
