[gentoo-dev] [RFC] Adding two USE flags to 2008.0's profiles

[gentoo-dev] [RFC] Adding two USE flags to 2008.0's profiles

I'm thinking of adding both the bluetooth and usb USE flags to the
2008.0 profiles for amd64/x86.  I'll be adding just usb for everybody
else, unless they want bluetooth, also.

So why am I asking about this?

Well, I'm wanting to add it to the "2008.0" profiles, not the "desktop"
or "server" sub-profiles.  This means it'll hit pretty much everybody.
That being said, this normally enables hardware support, so I see it as
a good thing.

If adding "bluetooth" seems to be a bit much, how about just the "usb"
USE flag?  After all, my UPS won't work with apcupsd without USE="usb"
on my server... ;]

 I don't know how badly needed bluetooth is (no need here), but I
remember we had to mask USE=bluetooth two times in the last week (KDE
and something else, pulseaudio I think) to not break stable users...so
I consider it a bit of a "cruft".

Understandable, bluetooth isn't the most mature thing in Linux.  It
tends to either work or it doesn't.

OK, then I'll just add "usb" across the board.  We can hold off until
later for bluetooth support.

Actually bluetooth support is in quite a good shape. The thing was there 
was a urgent need to get bluez-utils-3* stable for which I need some doc 
updates etc before it can go stable. (Yes I am a slacker there)

Doc updates? GDP hasn't heard anything about this, as far as I know. No
open bugs, anyway.

I'm cool with USB enabled.  I think pretty much everything I use uses or 
requires USB.  Even the big IBM PowerPC boxes have USB.
