I have to agree with this. We need a mailing list or some kind of |
| 23 |
announcement that USE flags are changing and what they are changing |
| 24 |
too. qt has split into qt3 and qt4 from what I have read. I recently |
| 25 |
found out that tkinter has become tk but only after my emerge -e world |
| 26 |
failed at pysol because python was emerged without the support. Thank |
| 27 |
goodness for --resume. |

Where does a person go to make this suggestion? It could be as simple |
| 30 |
as a mailing list that we can subscribe to like this one and/or a thread |
| 31 |
on the forums that people can subscribe to. They are making things |
| 32 |
better but we need to be informed of what they are changing, especially |
| 33 |
something as critical as the USE flags. |
