The use function might also be adapted to through an error if the flag is > not in IUSE That would seem to be most ideal. It would make sense if that was implemented via the FEATURES variable, like sandboxing. Anyway, most of what I said came from a standpoint that there are many many more lines of ebuild code than portage code. Any methods used to ease the maintenence of that large base would benefit the stability of gentoo and the speed with which it could move forward. -- /* * Bob Phan * Computational Chemistry Informatics * Neurogen Corporation * (203)488-8201 x4645 * * To understand recursion, you must first understand recursion. * http://www.endlessrecursion.net/ */ -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
