Subject: [gentoo-dev] internal use only use flags

A grep '!!' /usr/portage/profiles/use.desc reveals the following:
bootstrap - !!internal use only!! DO NOT SET THIS FLAG YOURSELF!, used during
original system bootstrapping [make stage2]
build - !!internal use only!! DO NOT SET THIS FLAG YOURSELF!, used for
creating build images and the first half of bootstrapping [make stage1]
livecd - !!internal use only!! DO NOT SET THIS FLAG YOURSELF!, used during
livecd building.
selinux - !!internal use only!! Security Enhanced Linux support, this must be
set by the selinux profile or breakage will occur
static - !!do not set this during bootstrap!! Causes binaries to be statically
linked instead of dynamically
I think these internal use only use flags should have names that indicate
that, for example: INTERNALUSE_bootstrap. This would help in recognizing them
and at the same time free those names for normal use. The newest GHC is now
forced to use "ghcbootstrap" and I plan on adding similar support to SBCL for
the next release.
It's probably a big pain to do this.
