Re: [gentoo-dev] [RFC] Add support for package.keywords in profiles?
* Zac Medico [EMAIL PROTECTED] [2008-08-25 20:42]: Obviously there are an infinite number of possible approaches. The main reason I brought this up was that a user had expressed a desire to have package.keywords for use in private profiles (not the official gentoo ones). The question of whether or not we should implement package.keywords for the sake of private profiles should be considered separately from the question of whether or not we choose a policy to allow the use of package.keywords in one or more of our official gentoo profiles. I'm currently in need of package.keywords for private profiles as well, so please add me to the list :) Would be great if portage-2.2 final would support that! Thanks, Wolfram
[gentoo-dev] global USE flag overrides in metadata.xml (bug 235708)
Hello. Is it allowed (good idea) to override global USE flags in metadata.xml? GLEP 56 in Motivation part give us such examples and media-libs/xine-lib already uses this possibility but before GLEP 56 was implemented having USE flag both in local.use.desc and use.desc was not allowed. We already discussed this issue on -dev in USE flag documentation thread(s) and although general opinion was that this is good idea (I have not found objections) we still have documented that this is not allowed. Cite from devmanual[1]: All USE flags must be described in either use.desc or use.local.desc in the profiles/ directory. Personally I think that this is good idea to specialize global USE flags description in metadata.xml. In such case global USE flag description still correct, and we just adjust their meaning for specific package. What others think? P.S. After I wrote this e-mail I found bug 235708 [1] which discusses same issue but I still think -dev is better place for such discussion.

Peter Volkov wrote: Hello. Is it allowed (good idea) to override global USE flags in metadata.xml? Yes. That was the whole point of this. That's why I started it because Halc0yn said we could not override global USE flags (use.desc) in local USE flag (use.local.desc). The devmanual has not been updated to reflect the acceptance of GLEP 56 by the council nor it's subsequent implementation.
[gentoo-dev] Remove global USE flag tetex
Hi, there should be no more packages in the tree that have USE=tetex, so this global USE flag can be removed. Any opinions?
