Checking for pdf use flags I just found that there are currently at least three different flags for pdf stuff in the tree: - pdflib (global) - cpdflib (global) - pdf (several local ones)
All of them mean basically the same (one exception, see below). I suggest we unify them to one single global "pdf" flag. The following packages would be affected by this: $ metascan -v IUSE pdf IUSE pdflib IUSE cpdflib Generating package list ... done Scanning packages for ['IUSE', 'IUSE', 'IUSE'] ... done app-text/xml2doc-20030510 media-gfx/gnuplot-3.8j media-gfx/gnuplot-3.8j-r1 media-gfx/gnuplot-4.0-r1 app-office/abiword-plugins-2.4.1-r2 kde-base/kdegraphics-3.5.0 kde-base/kdegraphics-3.5.0-r4 kde-base/kdegraphics-3.5.0-r3 kde-base/kdegraphics-3.5.0-r2 app-misc/beagle-0.1.1 app-misc/beagle-0.1.2 dev-python/epydoc-2.1-r2 dev-python/epydoc-2.1-r1 www-servers/thttpd-2.25b-r3 www-servers/thttpd-2.25b-r2 www-apps/swish-e-2.4.3-r1 www-apps/swish-e-2.4.3 media-gfx/grace-5.1.19 media-gfx/grace-5.1.18 dev-lang/pike-7.4.44 dev-lang/pike-7.6.6 dev-lang/pike-7.6.24 dev-lang/pike-7.6.50 x11-misc/openclipart-0.18 mail-client/sylpheed-claws-1.0.5-r1 plus I'm working on another ebuild with optional pdf functionality. One case that doesn't completely fit into this category is x11-misc/openclipart as the existing local "pdf" flag just determines if some pdf files should be installed. Not sure how exactly to deal with this situation, but in doubt the new global flag could IMO be abused (less flags == better). So unless there are any objections to this I'll make the change this weekend. Marius -- Public Key at http://www.genone.de/info/gpg-key.pub In the beginning, there was nothing. And God said, 'Let there be Light.' And there was still nothing, but you could see a bit better.
