as a reminder, NEVER utilize USE=pic in your package unless you know exactly |
| 2 |
what it's for and you're sure you need it ... a quick `grep -Rl ^IUSE=.*pic` |
| 3 |
of the tree shows a bunch of ebuilds which appear to be misusing it: |
| 4 |
app-admin/amanda |
| 5 |
app-text/djvu |
| 6 |
media-libs/guilib |
| 7 |
media-libs/libvisual |
| 8 |
media-tv/tvtime |
| 9 |
media-video/avidemux |
| 10 |
net-im/silc-plugin |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
packages which just straight up suck at life wrt PIC handling: |
| 13 |
net-mail/uw-imap |
| 14 |
net-mail/checkpassword |
| 15 |
(anyone who just has 'append-flags -fPIC' because it 'worked') |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
fix your packages people or i'll fix you ! |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
to prevent this in the future, perhaps i'll move USE=pic into use.local.desc |
| 20 |
so that people stop thinking it's OK to use normally ... or maybe i'll revise |
| 21 |
the description with 'dont touch this flag unless you know what you are |
| 22 |
doing' ... thoughts ? |
