The doc use flag is used where there is a reason to make documentation optional rather than mandatory. Examples of such reasons include increased dependencies (e.g. Doxygen, which pulls in a fair bit), increased build time (e.g. Doxygen, which can be frickin' slow) or substantially increased disk usage. If there's no substantial cost to documentation, it should always be installed. --=20 Ciaran McCreesh --Sig_r.spvO7GIzveACCzgh+CQCY Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFGfSvl96zL6DUtXhERAn0gAJ40QNuZzAVC/7rHgJBtQstGSszVSgCg4Spo AQK6ijPBobnTrVXVyXZshd4= =rBVG -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_r.spvO7GIzveACCzgh+CQCY-- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
