[gentoo-dev] local use flag cleanup

[gentoo-dev] local use flag cleanup

[Steve Dibb]

Okay, doing some QA work with my new scripts, found a few ebuilds with local USE 
flags that do not have an entry in use.local.desc.  Bad, bad!

For some of the missing use flags (net, avahi, libnotify), I recommend moving 
them into global USE flags, and will unless someone objects.

multislot and multitarget are actually in an eclass (toolchain-binutils) which 
is being sourced by a few ebuilds, so should probably be global in the first place.

Here's the broken ebuilds with their missing entries in use.local.desc:

dev-libs/linux-fusion-3.2 udev
dev-lisp/cl-araneida-0.90.1 standalone
games-board/freedoko-0.7.3 net
net-nds/lat-1.2.0.1 avahi
net-news/liferea-1.1.7 libnotify
net-news/liferea-1.1.9-r1 libnotify
sys-devel/binutils-hppa64-2.17 multislot multitarget

I'll go ahead and fix the local.use.desc stuff if no one beats me to it.

I would like to recommend moving cairo, libnotify and openexr to global USE flags.

cairo - 11 packages (the same descriptions)
libnotify - 11 packages (the same descriptions)
openexr - 10 packages (the same descriptions)
avahi - 10 packages (slightly different descriptions)
net - 3 packages (the same descriptions)

I recommend leaving avahi and net in local USE flags.

If nobody objects, I recommend that Steve Dibb globalizes cairo, libnotify and openexr USE flags.

With my new little database, I ran a query to get the count of local use flags 
that are being used, to see which ones can be candidates for moving to a global 
USE flag instead.  Here's the query results:

http://wonkabar.org/~steve/gentoo/use_local_count.txt

I've gone through some of them and here are the ones I suggest get moved to 
global, since the use flag description / functionality is the same or similar 
enough to mean "support for $x":

logrotate
musepack
xscreensaver
libsamplerate
udev
vnc
fltk
nntp
pulseaudio
ao
cgi
gimp
immqt
immqt-bc
ipod
irc
rdesktop
timidity
v4l2
webdav
xcomposite
anthy
cddb
dxr3
hdf5
ilbc
jingle
latex
modplug
smtp
subversion
suid
x264
xfs
zvbi

That's all the ones that are on 4 or more *packages* each (not ebuilds). 
'cairo' and 'openexr' are missing from the list, since I moved those two over 
earlier this morning.

Any objections to moving any of those over, please let me know.

Thanks

udev and logrotate have been discussed on this list previously. Don't
change them without reading the earlier discussions.

What about 'libnotify'?

As far as I can see all 11 entries in use.local.desc amount to the same
thing, though the descriptions vary slightly.

(The one for gnome-extra/zenity is a typo: it says it uses 'libinotify'
but actually RDEPENDs on >=x11-libs/libnotify-0.4.1)

I think we can define lower limit for new global USE flags to 7 packages.
After reading descriptions I suggest globalizing:
 libnotify
 musepack
 libsamplerate

I'm not sure in case of xscreensaver:
"Detection of xscreensavers." or "Support for XScreenSaver extension."
However in case of net-im/gaim: "Enable X idle time support instead of gaim idle time."

The rest of local USE flags should probably remain local.

In cleaning up the USE flags, I've found some global ones that have been orphaned.

dba - Enables dbm-compatible layers
dio - Adds direct i/o support
gb - Adds support for Gnome Basic to gnumeric
ingres - Adds support for Ingres database
msession - Adds support for msession daemon


If no one objects, I'll remove them from use.desc.

These are still in use! See the php eclasses!

This one does actually look orhpaned.

Alright, thanks.  I figured it was something like that.
