That'd be bad practice. When a new global use flag is made, the requirement is that all local use flags which would get united have *the same meaning*. If the meaning is the same, it doesn't make sense to mention it twice. If the meaning differs (slightly or not), it should get a local use flag. -- Simon Stelling Gentoo/AMD64 Operational Co-Lead [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
