Subject: [gentoo-dev] berkdb and gdbm in global USE defaults
Date: Thu, 26 Jan 2017 22:33:14 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAJ0EP43TEYAij7ChB35y0+bs9wyuA-aR8LK=vAWHaL0+Ew-jow@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
I recently ran into a REQUIRED_USE constraint that required I select
between berkdb and gdbm for an email client.
Looking through our profiles, I see we have both berkdb and gdbm
enabled "globally".
default/linux/make.defaults:USE="berkdb crypt ipv6 ncurses nls pam
readline ssl tcpd zlib"
releases/make.defaults:USE="acl gdbm nptl unicode"
Is there any reason to have these USE flags enabled globally?
These USE seem pretty package-specific in scope. On my system, they
are used by around a dozen of 1000+ installed packages. I think it
might make sense to migrate them to appropriate IUSE defaults, or
leave them disabled where they do not provide critical functionality.
