Re: [gentoo-dev] Undocumented and unused USE variables

[Christoph Niethammer <christoph.niethammer@googlemail.com>]

Hello.

I see. There is more documentation on a per package bases wich has to be considered, too. (Found already the metadata.xml files.)

As with the pango USE they may differe in their description - maybe also in their meaning for different packages. So local USE flags should only be used on a per package basis!

Here the euse command is realy handy. :-)
However the sysfs USE flag is still hiding its documentation.
So lets see if this is a bug or a feature. ;-)

Thx for the clarification so far.

Best regards
Christoph
