There should also be a way of referring to a use flag owned by either |
| 9 |
this or another package. For example: |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
<flag name="foo">Enables support for fooing. Ignored unless <flagref |
| 12 |
name="bar">plugin</flagref> support is enabled for this package and |
| 13 |
<flagref restrict="app-misc/foo" name="bindings">bindings</flagref> is |
| 14 |
enabled for <pkg>app-misc/foo</pkg>.</flag> |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
But that's rather ugly... There's probably a nicer way of marking it up |
| 17 |
using XML. |
