[gentoo-dev] moving bzip2 from local to global USE flag

[Mike Frysinger]

anyone have probs with moving bzip2 to global ?  we currently utilize it in 
gnupg, xqf, mkvtoolnix, tar, and we could use it in portage in the future

Some ebuilds use the global bzlib USE flag, is another necessary?
Maybe it should be renamed?

ah, was not aware of said flag ... yes they should be unified ...

personally i think 'bzip2' is a bit more logical ... what do others think we 
should use ?  just stick with bzlib since it's what we've had it for a while 
now ?

I'd prefer bzip2

Agreed.

I'd say always try to make things more logical. Besides, there are only
a few packages using the bzlib flag.

I did however find quite a few that did an unconditional --with-bzlib as
well as one (dev-util/gambas) that uses bzlib2, which I can't find
anywhere.

the three packages using bzlib have been changed to bzip2

thanks all ... this is a good example of why we e-mail gentoo-dev before just 
doing stuff :)
