then your comment about people putting packages in there to work around problem X doesnt make any sense entries exist in use.defaults to map a USE flag to the package it represents (when such a package exists, things like nptl obviously dont have a mapping by definition, no entry in there is a 'work around' or 'fluff', but exists *only* because a USE flag <-> package mapping exists ... if anything, our use.defaults file is *missing* a ton of entries (i'll toss in more tonight for fun :P) -mike -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
