[gentoo-dev] Hardened USE flag

[Luis Francisco Araujo]

Hello World!

I want to ask for suggestions and opinions for the best way to handle 
this bug:

http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=158434

I am usually very hesitant to add new use flags to the tree (unless they 
are *really* necessary or imply a great advantage.) ; though i am not 
sure here if anybody else would consider this a good recommendation for 
handling textrels.

I was thinking more of a simple 'use hardened && myconf=" .. "' specific 
line for this ebuild; but it's probably a good idea offering to more 
developers the easy choice of this feature through a USE flag?

If it looks enough useful for many people; then i think we can proceed 
to implement it; if it will only be used by this ebuild; then i am 
already against it ;-)

Thanks;
