Maybe USE flags could be implemented in a similar fashing.
DISTRO_USE = "nossl nox11"
EXTRA_OECONF_append_use-nossl = "--disable-ssl"
${PN} of the recipe becomes XXXX-nossl
Thoughts?
Just that USE flags shouldn't be used if seperate recipes can solve it
as well.
If I may, I'd like to articulate what I believe to be the technical
argument behind this statement.
One of the issues with some form of USE flags, and I believe this is one
of the big ones for Angstrom as well as any other public feed publishing
distribution is that having a single recipe that does different things
based on variables makes maintaining their feed (and allowing users to
publish their own compatible feeds) a nightmare.
This is because there isn't any form of use flag checking (a simple case
of 1:1 or the more complex case of flagA needs flagB and flagC doesn't
care about flagD -> flagZ).
