Subject: [gentoo-dev] About time to unify "cdda" and "cdaudio" USE flags and make the remaining one global?

1 Hi list,
2
3 while finally doing some bug-wrangling again, I stumbled about [1] where a
4 user requested to unify "cdda" and "cdaudio" USE flags.
5 After leaving a request for further opinions about this in #-bugs I only got
6 one reply:
7
8 14:11:28 <+Poly-C_atwork> Any idea what to do about bug #274818? Is there some
9 real distinction between cdaudio and cdda? If no would it be worth to request
10 the removal of one of these two flags in favor of the other one?
11 ...
12 16:16:25 <+yngwin> Poly-C_atwork: looks to me that cdda and cdaudio are indeed
13 the same
14 16:16:38 <+yngwin> and together they are used in 8 packages
15 16:16:46 <+yngwin> so it's time for a global use flag
16 16:17:04 <+yngwin> as cdda is the official term, that has my preference
17
18 So what do you think? Should we convert the bug into a tracker and open bugs
19 for any package using the USE-flag that should be converted into the other
20 one?
