I say no, since -* is mainly for killing off auto-use crap and=20 profiles. Note that explicitly disabling a flag (-client fex) would disable the=20 default use there; question is whether or not some form of -* should=20 exist for default IUSE; the existing -* is profile/autouse specific,=20 and sholdn't be reused for disabling default IUSE imo. yay/nay? ~harring --Sr1nOIr3CvdE5hEN Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFDBLf3vdBxRoA3VU0RAoB/AJ436plATgg+3A7PU3mMCsDTPSH2xwCfY0uP 8zaBEBFpUqDQDbGDFJPyUT8= =l2qo -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sr1nOIr3CvdE5hEN-- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
