(according= =20 to the ebuild howto). So it's not really a feature but a lucky assumption=20 that most packages know what to do with "./configure --disable-static". Additionally handling exceptions with package.env can be a pain. It is much= =20 less supported by tools than package.use or .keywords. You are right that it would be wrong to expose this feature. But having it= =20 readily available and exposing it are two different sorts of things. --nextPart4503156.gTpXJ83mFX Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBGNOwsIAIA2PPsul0RAqb8AJ9qonkYQH+C2+Wei6hviI+VFP7snACcCYhp 8grjXXHmShKE0R88Oxn4TDo= =9l9y -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart4503156.gTpXJ83mFX-- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
