I see USE_ORDER becomes "...:pkg:conf:iuse_defaults:..." in your patch. Have you considered using "...:pkg:iuse_defaults:conf:..." instead? Imo, the feature would better this way, because: - one would still benefit of the package defaults when using a make.conf with USE="-* ...". This would be a good thing especially when a "+foo" default has been used to replace an old IUSE="nofoo". - one would get the "best" flags everywhere when a global flag, for instance a library flag, which is good in general (and thus that people set in their make.conf) is just not the best alternative in the context of one particular package. And also, it just sounds more logical/intuitive to me that some per-package defaults are only overridable at a per-package level. Sure, this may also complicates life of a user who don't want "libfoo" at all, if the "libfoo" flag is set per-default in 20 packages he uses. But i would expect this won't happen; flags which are good defaults in general would rather stay in make.defaults i guess. -- TGL. -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
