Hi all,
The adding of USE flags is currently unregulated, so I thought I'd post to
get a consensus.
Current status: a few ebuilds use env. var. $DEBUG, not explicitly set
anywhere in gentoo config files, to enable debugging. The portage system uses
it to disable automatic binary stripping. The flag is nowhere mentioned in
gentoo docs (AFAIK), a user would have to know about it to enable debugging.
Suggestion: 1. make a $STRIP variable for portage instead. On by default. Set
from make.* so the user can see it.
2. make a USE variable "debug", off by default, for all ebuilds to use.
Note: Right now there are several USE flags which don't have to do with
packages: 3dnow mmx sse build final and maybe some other I missed. Hallski
says adding of USE vars should be regulated somehow, I agree.
Ideas? comments?
