However, if I wanted someone else deciding what's "desirable" for me I |
| 14 |
wouldn't be using Gentoo, and I wouldn't care about USE flags at all. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
The only important thing here is that the label on top of the big red |
| 17 |
button doesn't match the purpose of the big red button. The final user |
| 18 |
doesn't really care if the USE is global or not, and s/he certainly |
| 19 |
doesn't care as much about the USE flag name as s/he can care about |
| 20 |
the USE flag purpose. |
| 21 |
|

On the other side, I remind everyone that there's bugs.gentoo.org |
| 23 |
which is where everyone should be reporting USE flag bugs instead of |
| 24 |
wasting the time here. Just like I do when I feel something is not |
| 25 |
right. Things usually get fixed.The last one that got my attention was |
| 26 |
the "symlink" flag for mplayer2, I reported it yesterday, now the fix |
| 27 |
is in the tree. |
