In the specific case of xine-lib, the mad USE flag can simply be replaced with mp3 because mips, which is the only arch that has the mad USE flag in use.mask, doesn't have any version keyworded. Of course that doesn't fix the general problem, but at least it would save time for a lot of users... -- Kind Regards, Simon Stelling Gentoo/AMD64 Developer -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
