[gentoo-dev] About merging "ayatana", "indicator", "libindicate", "appindicator" in one global USE flag

[gentoo-dev] About merging "ayatana", "indicator", "libindicate", "appindicator" in one global USE flag

Hello,

I was reviewing about how to enable globally on my system the usage of
libappindicator and I realized that we have multiple names for that in the tree.
"ayatana" is the only global one, while other packages are using "indicator",
"libindicate", "appindicator"...

Personally I would merge all them in only one, and I wonder if maybe "indicator"
or "appindicator" would be more meaningful for most users than "ayatana", what
do you think?

Thanks

Personally I would opt for global "appindicator" as it seems to be more widely
used and I think it is a bit more self-explanatory :/

Sounds reasonable to me.

So I assume we can consensus here, so I'll start off with renaming it
in nm-applet as part of other changes, and assume this ends up as a
global USE flag eventually.

Note that ayatana already is a global USE flag, but I agree with
migrating that over to appindicator instead, just a global USE flag to
remove then later as well.
