So you propose we would always install the documentation, but have a new global USE flag (remember, we are talking about over a hundred of packages here - everything that inherits gnome2.eclass) with a yet to be determined name to control the re-generation? However, with the advancements of the gtk-doc system, there _might_ not be any more benefits in rebuilding the documentation, so I've had the intention to check that out and perhaps propose removing the doc USE flag completely and never regenerate it if it's true that it has no point. But checking this has been quite a low priority, and given that we need to get GNOME-2.24 out there for the users, it remains so during this month, at least for me. I would propose that we (the GNOME team) investigates the benefits (or lack thereof these days) of the regeneration in the first part of November, and if we don't, you get to remind us and we take care of it as the hurry with a new major GNOME version, that users are awaiting (including squashing all bugs needed before stabilization), will be over then. Taking the renaming of the USE flag approach as a start would also mean touching many GNOME packages (build-depends on gtk-doc if eautoreconf is involved), and I'd rather not risk that at the moment. It would also heavily disrupts the moving of the new version ebuilds from overlay to portage tree. --=20 Mart Raudsepp Gentoo Developer Mail: leio@gentoo.org Weblog: http://planet.gentoo.org/developers/leio --=-AKBXjsBkJiyPzL53ewy1 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.8 (GNU/Linux) iEYEABECAAYFAkjrvtQACgkQkeYb6olFHJcauQCbBy0/Q1s9fYh8w0zgrAbKD4Mc RuUAoIdu+RioeyiQF0xqLUc7kCBEh1C7 =w2dE -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-AKBXjsBkJiyPzL53ewy1--
