I'm not really asking for exhaustive documentation about USE flags, |
| 11 |
just saying that even some fragmented documentation would be useful. I |
| 12 |
don't expect a particular contributor to know everything about a |
| 13 |
particular USE flag. (And, of course, no one is under any obligation |
| 14 |
to do it.) |

All this would be easier if upstream package developers would explain |
| 17 |
what the different config options really entail. Most of the times, |
| 18 |
"./configure --help" is not that helpful. |
