In at least one I package I use, media-sound/mpd, USE=network doesn't |
| 23 |
really do what it says on the tin. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Currently, "the tin" says "Enable network streaming support". However, |
| 26 |
what it does is enable network streaming /server/, with the requisite |
| 27 |
encoding, etc. Network streaming /client/ support is always enabled for |
| 28 |
this package, regardless of the USE=network setting, and indeed, I |
| 29 |
happily listen to incoming shoutcast streams all the time despite USE=- |
| 30 |
network for this package. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
This was a relatively new flag for this package, added in the fresh ~arch |
| 33 |
version, and it certainly caused me some initial confusion, until I |
| 34 |
actually examined the ebuild itself to see what it did. |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
Perhaps a more accurate flag for media-sound/mpd would therefore be |
| 37 |
USE=server (which BTW has all sorts of local entries, but AFAIK, has been |
| 38 |
disapproved as a global USE flag before). |
