In addition to what the others have said, FEATURES= ?? AFAIK, FEATURES is PM-implementation-specific and not part of PMS. It's not something ebuilds/eclasses should be messing with or care about at all, as it's PM- private-implementation domain, not ebuild domain. Unless you're suggesting changing the portage implementation to care about what specific package it's working on, and apply FEATURES based on that, and that doesn't sound like a good idea either. So I'm with the others. Just leave it alone. Being a NOOP for the packages in question means it's not hurting anything, and attempting to optimize it out is likely to be far more trouble than its worth. -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
