The reason we have mp3 and lame use flag is because there is more than one mp3 encoder. In almost every case of the use flag being applied above, there is already support for another mp3 codec (ffmpeg). So, lame adds support for lame, not for mp3, which is also provided. When there is just one mp3 codec used in an ebuild, then it makes sense to use just the mp3 use flag. Steve -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
