Yes it is a bad idea; policy belongs with users. It shouldn't be hardcoded into ebuilds, whether across the whole tree or per package. But ... I realise I'm flogging a dead horse here. We'll come up with a new revision of the PHP packages which builds *something* no matter how broken the combination of USE flags are. We'll test it first in our overlay, and then when we're happy we'll add them to the tree for testing and eventual stabilisation. We'll also provide a replacement for 'built_with_use', which works with what the package was actually compiled with, rather than what USE flags the user originally specified. This will be needed for all the web-based apps that are written in PHP. That might take a bit longer, and might have to follow in a later revision. As already pointed out, all this will have to be revisited when Portage supports USE-based deps. Best regards, Stu -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
