1 It is it possible to glob an entire subdirectory in package.use. I'm
2 trying to stop portage from using the doc flag when installing java
3 development suites. I tried adding the following to my package.use file:
4 dev-java/* -doc
5 Then ran `emerge -uD world` and it attempted to download the jdk doc
6 file which totally stopped the whole update process half-way because the
7 ebuild doesn't support that because of possible licensing issues. Is
8 there any globbing allowed in the package.use file.
