How do you specify gtk v2 only using use flags? You can't! |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
If something depends on gtk v1 regardless of use flags (by which I mean |
| 44 |
there's no without any gtk or use v2 option), then if you want |
| 45 |
to emerge it you have to have gtk v1. Unless you want to have some sort |
| 46 |
of system where a package would be masked because of your use flags |
| 47 |
(which would get annoying really quickly), but I don't think you are. |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
That being said, I agree that your way is better, assuming that -gtk |
| 50 |
-gtk1 gtk2 means "disable optional gtk (any version) support, but if gtk |
| 51 |
isn't optional but both versions are supported then use v2" |
