... despite that most of these shouldn't even have a USE flag for |
24 |
inotify, instead it should always be enabled with 'kernel_linux' and let |
25 |
the application itself do a runtime check if inotify is available or not |
26 |
since these have no external dependencies (other than virtual/os-headers) |
27 |
not everything should be put behind USE flag :-/ |
