Ofcourse they do have deps, but so does our standard compiler (we don't have gcc listed in every ebuild). I do not question their existance, i question their position in comparison to most other USE flags, compiling options (how do you want to compile) vs. compile time options (what do you want to compile exactly = USE). The suggested division is just a superficial one. - foser -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
