[gentoo-dev] Global USE flags bite the dust...

[Doug Goldstein]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 603 bytes --]

The following global USE flags have been deleted from the tree because
no ebuild uses them.

dba
dio
ingres
msession
nhc98
oggvorbis
zeo


I'm also going to move "mcve" to a local USE flag for PHP. In fact it
should really just go away since PHP is no longer shipping the MCVE
extension built in. It's a PECL module only. (plus my employer writes
MCVE/Monetra and that code is mine to maintain now... however I make NO
claims at it's current quality level since I have yet to write or edit a
single line.)

Have you looked in eclass/ ? A quick grep for those sees a lot popping
up in php eclasses.

Thanks,
Donnie

Was just testing you... Donnie... you pass. ;) heh. (thanks for the
e-mail before I committed)

Well....

nhc98
oggvorbis
zeo

are gone.

dba
dio
ingres
msession
mcve

are all used by 1 ebuild... and that's dev-lang/php... they should be
moved to local's.

Consequence: php eclasses code should be moved in dev-lang/php ebuild.

While you are cleaning up, could you take care of
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=144534 please (ming/flash use flags).

Thanks!

Please don't do that.  The PHP eclasses are there because we used to
support building other PHP SAPIs (specifically thttpd).  That's also
why the USE flags were made global, as they'll need to be supported by
all of web servers that will bundle PHP support.

Best regards,
Stu

In addition to what Stu just said, removing them would add a lot of
local USE flags, and it really isn't worth it to change from local to
global, imo...  -1 - please don't do this for global PHP USE flags,
thanks.

Erm, and duplicate USE flag detection code (thinks conflicts that
portage still cannot handle... sigh) in every PHP ebuilds?  No thanks!
 Easing maintainability is a good thing, ya know :P

Very poorly worded, and apologies if that was hard to parse... *hides*

This is wrong.  Regardless of local to global, and vice versa, this
will not change the USE flag conflict detection.  However, some of
these flags are used elsewhere (as Stu has already noted), and I think
since they've been around a while, and can easily be used by other
new/old packages without changes to profiles/use.local.desc, they
should stay where they are (global).

Best,
Elfyn
