It doesn't really matter. Where you should put them depends on how you |
| 9 |
want them to take effect. A flag that only affects one package will |
| 10 |
affect that one package regardless of whether it's in make.conf or |
| 11 |
package.use, so I prefer to put it in make.conf for clarity, especially |
| 12 |
in the --info context. On the other hand, flags that many people |
| 13 |
consider to be global (apache2, mysql, php, etc) I only enable for one |
| 14 |
or two specific packages, as needed. |
