About USE flags, it's completely different idea from IFC or ICC flags. |
| 14 |
Just couple flags only (could be more, for example if some devs and some |
| 15 |
users want to support alternative java machines, not system default for |
| 16 |
their ebuilds) which tell that you want to for something to be compiled |
| 17 |
with alternative set of compiler and compiler flags, differ from system |
| 18 |
default. It just flags that provide extra-functionality. OK, probably it |
| 19 |
can be done in different way, here I agree. But currently it looks with |
| 20 |
/etc/portage/package.use very simple and comfortable and coming into |
| 21 |
gentoo really very smoothly. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
BTW, I'm not asking to make something for me. |
| 24 |
I'm just telling that there is place, where extra functionality can be |
| 25 |
added into gentoo. And I can work for that. Anyway I do it already :) |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
And I just want to discuss the possible ways of implementing it. |
| 28 |
And for sure currently there is no normal and comfortable ways to have |
| 29 |
it. Probably as usually my explanations not so good :) |
