Certainly a USE flag makes sense here, but it shouldn't be USE=emacs. |
| 23 |
|

The "emacs" global USE flag is used by 82 other packages (all outside |
| 25 |
the app-emacs category). Its purpose is always that GNU Emacs specific |
| 26 |
files are installed; either directly, or indirectly by pulling another |
| 27 |
package via *DEPEND. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
So leafpad would be the first package assigning a different meaning to |
| 30 |
the flag. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
In my opinion, a local USE flag like "emacskeys" or "emacs-keymap" |
| 33 |
would make more sense here. (And I doubt that users who would enable |
| 34 |
Emacs key bindings in leafpad would always want GNU Emacs. Setting |
| 35 |
USE=emacs in make.conf will inevitably install it.) |
