Coming across ebuild submissions that have optional parts depending on whether you have a web server installed (apache being the big example), but in looking through use.desc I only see a USE flag for apache2 - nothing for apache, or web, or www, what have you? Any opponents to some type of use flag along this nature? If not, any recommendations?
RobH - yeah, this is directed at alzabo :)

This would be vastly useful for many things (apcupsd/nut/xmltv/etc).

It's early in the morning for me, so apologies if this is as blurry to read
as it is to write.
I'd really like to see a "webmin" USE flag.
I was really pleased when I first migrated to Mandrake Linux to find that
facilities like webmin & GUI Kconfiguraton tools were available, then
quickly found that all the best HOWTOs referred editing the config files in
a text editor.
vi / nano is now my first approach to configuring any new package
- it's just easier that way, to edit the text files & know *exactly* what
I'm specifying, rather than relying on a GUI which may respond to a checkbox
in an unexpected manner, or make other simplifications for me.
I was consequently quite shocked when I emerged Samba, to find that the Swat
component is hard-wired into ebuild. Now, I'm not disputing that there may
be good reasons for this (I take it Swat is distributed as part of the Samba
package?), but I had emerge'd this beautiful, simple, non-GUI,
server-optimised Unix, and a certainly don't want such rubbish on my
system!!
-I do have Apache webserver on my Gentoo box, but I don't need ANY webbased
admin tools at all. Is there any chance of a global "webmin" flag to deal
with this..?
Stroller.

Swat is indeed a part of samba itself. I think your suggestion to put it
behind a useflag is a good one, so please submit a bug in that respect. Take
note that swat is a standalone webserver that is run through inet.d.
