The meaning is identical in all those cases, and I think the number of |
30 |
packages may have hit the threshold for a global flag. |
31 |
|
32 |
However, we already have a very similar global USE flag: sqlite, which |
33 |
makes this a bit more tricky. The difference is very subtle: |
34 |
|
35 |
IUSE="sqlite" means "the sqlite support is optional; -sqlite means no |
36 |
sqlite support" |
37 |
|
38 |
IUSE="system-sqlite" means "we can use the bundled sqlite or the system |
39 |
one; -system-sqlite means we use the bundled one; both settings result |
40 |
in sqlite support" |
41 |
|
42 |
If we'd make system-sqlite a global USE flag, I'd suggest a description |
43 |
like "Use the system-wide dev-db/sqlite instead of bundled copy of sqlite." |
