  Modified:             hb-working-portage.xml
  Log:
  Warn about setting doc USE flag globally (it's known to bring circular 
dependencies) and recommend doing it per package. Thanks to a random discussion 
on #-dev

-You can enable or disable the <c>doc</c> USE flag either globally in the
-<path>/etc/make.conf</path> file or per package in
-<path>/etc/portage/package.use</path>. The <uri link="?part=2&amp;chap=2">USE
-Flags</uri> chapter covers this aspect in detail.
+The best way of enable the <c>doc</c> USE flag is doing it per package, in
+<path>/etc/portage/package.use</path>, so you get documentation for the 
packages
+you are interested in. Enable the flag globally is known to give problems with
+circular dependencies. You can read the chapter about <uri
+link="?part=2&amp;chap=2">USE Flags</uri> for more information about them.
