Subject: Re: [gentoo-dev] Portage2 super USE flag suggestin
Date: Thu, 18 Jul 2002 15:55:27 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1027007727.3d36e4efa5c83@www.borowka.net> (raw)

I like this idea!

However, a simpler solution would be to introduce some priority
of USE flags. "-X" would also say -gtk because gtk depends on X.
Then, we could eventually introduce f.e. "sound" use flag and make
alsa, oss... dependant on it.
