[gentoo-dev] Unicode support

[gentoo-dev] Unicode support

[Marko Mikulicic]

Hello,

I noticed that postgresql ebuild cannot compile the
database with multibyte support.
  It would be nice if there would be a "unicode" use flag.
I was wondering if it's better to have a  "unicode"
flag or call it "multibyte" or something like that,
because it activates something more than only unicode
inside postgresql (other mbyte encodings).

What do you think?

Marko

PS: it would be nice if portage could maintain a list
of possible use flags, based on ebuild files contents, with a brief
description on each.

Try 
cat /usr/portage/profiles/use.desc

Yes, it does the job. But it has to be updated by hand.
I mean something that scans the ebuilds when rsyncing,
for example, which would list all use flags, including those
added in new user submitted ebuild files.
  I'm not sure if it makes sense, just food for thoughts.
