No, the decision with the gtk/gtk2 USE flag mess was to have package |
| 12 |
maintainers decide for each ebuild whether to support only gtk1 or only |
| 13 |
gtk2, but not have support for both in a single ebuild. The decision |
| 14 |
before that (and one with more support, IIRC) was to have one flag for |
| 15 |
gtk1, and one flag for gtk2. But what you're proposing now is getting |
| 16 |
back to the old mess, except defaulting to gtk2 instead of gtk1. That |
| 17 |
not only doesn't fix anything, but even says that gtk1 support was |
| 18 |
removed from a bunch of ebuilds for no benefit whatsoever. Please don't |
| 19 |
do that. |
