This question comes to my mind every time a developer decides to |
2 |
drop/add a USE flag to ebuilds like gcc/webkit-gtk/libreoffice... |
3 |
|
4 |
I think that we should have a file (like used for category movements) to |
5 |
let PM know how to handle this situation. |
6 |
|
7 |
For example, |
8 |
category/foo-1.0 has a "gnome" USE flag but, later, that one is dropped: |
9 |
-> If it is now *enabling* that support always, our file could have |
10 |
something like: |
11 |
category/foo gnome + -> that would mean that, when "gnome" USE flag is |
12 |
NOT found, portage assumes it as being enabled, that will mean that |
13 |
people having previously "gnome" enabled wouldn't need to rebuild the |
14 |
package |
15 |
|
16 |
... and the opposite |
17 |
|
18 |
What do you think? |
