You mean something like http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/qa/pms.xml ? Cheers, -jkt This page is incomplete and needs some more details added to it. The Gentoo Council took this up at the last meeting on Sept 11th. and plan to some details posted to gentoo-dev in the coming weeks. However, I've been spearheading this a bit and I'm getting married this weekend and then I have my honeymoon so, except things to be almost at a stand still from me until October.
[gentoo-dev] Preventing $ARCH flags in USE
Apparently, setting USE=x86 in make.conf on amd64 arch can have funny consequences such as [1]. And I can imagine even more subtle and hard to detect errors due to this. I think it's better to prevent this rather than waste time with bug reports like that. I asked Zac on IRC whether portage could filter such flags. He suggested using use.mask in profiles. Well since ARCH is also set by a profile, why not. Although a really persistent and stupid user could use.unmask, it's better than no protection. And then we can think how to replace the current ARCH-USE flag system with e.g. USE_EXPAND. What do you think?

While I don't necessarily disagree with you, my impression is that most people tend to think that certain profile-specific flags such as userland_* and kernel_* should be considered as implicit members of IUSE and therefore they shouldn't be explicitly listed in in IUSE. - -- Thanks, Zac -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAkjOw4YACgkQ/ejvha5XGaMILACfSQeRT7y1RzwTWWRnHvXBqFCh 9Q0An2AQZ9jJXLSWD1sKfL6+RdVNgEjl =Vh+a -END PGP SIGNATURE-
[gentoo-dev] Bugzilla3 and Bugzilla Survey 2008
For those asking about Bugzilla3 for Gentoo, it's a work-in-progress for the test version. Hopefully I'll announce testing access in the next week or two. On a side note, upstream Bugzilla was doing a survey on large Bugzilla installs, and contacted me to get the Gentoo perspective.
