No disagreement in principle, however it might be worth checking which of them are practically used at all or could be removed entirely. "directfb" caught my attention, which I doubt is very active today. Though the package in question - libggi - only uses the directfb flag in an old ebuild, the latest one hard-disables directfb. So well, if you stabilize libggi-2.2.2-r1 and remove the old ebuild you can entirely get rid of this useflag instead of making it local. Plausibly there may be other such cases, i.e. flags that were used in the past, but for things that got deprecated / out of fashion / are practically no longer used. --=20 Hanno B=C3=B6ck https://hboeck.de/ mail/jabber: hanno@hboeck.de GPG: FE73757FA60E4E21B937579FA5880072BBB51E42 --Sig_/qzomu_kJUMIfwJKE.FHX2HT Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAEBCAAdFiEEn3wfQCCb9MicJwD8dkhfABMwL8oFAlvO2uUACgkQdkhfABMw L8oumg//QNneXAE9kxdPAl0lcl1hl/3EY+6bKjFd8eG+RmL7efev2kxupnTU+P4N yN8ipqCOS9Jvfjzpc1ul9mkhsugPotw4fhd/J2P3OmfVVrEJhyIW6S0/qqsdRzf5 BINNTyooPSgIAem/eDjJy1LtlfHQac+5mvlMK5A7g+SpRaRnK7i5Y4oG/bitZ/bq XSzNMPo/K3ZUKCaOHrO4bRGoHXhwWmHSlLW6jYoZSnJL6ludzVyC4x6A+B8B6dlE eIhWWX9HsnO7vjjL517wQoAc+uoh/Mbpg/okzQ3mdsYJkXhgzY0tcCzVIqEEP0ei KjqHY5cge9nCDPwlHORgIKc7Dvtho0wroHzXxLLfELmk/IhWFJW1LGLiJ6oE2Gvi Sl8ZIk4Vad5rcfFPdLHhKcjiWt+wgs+uKOs0QA6Yldnpkv9f4AE0jXmudOhS997F 5XPWhiE2DwABkL8ZoNFTzRioaRjfv9bLXCqtjqupxVaW0d8XUNPlOPj4JztEUF3S iKfuliVIivnnd9Sr44tuZ19sBeBhIzxkv7JjiwMIzejm5OIKXHezul5M3ljjGbZq aDYKbYivuaeMQrLbLuPyfmmkdSUgN/vtzcjRtG2PYNwLSKblh7AYqNxa3xOp6Vz4 wUwobZ7JLKFdq8Ag6jQ5wvggbZuts8TzyYrkQ7VGkc8VHtWFlWY= =lWE+ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/qzomu_kJUMIfwJKE.FHX2HT--
