Not enforcing policies on main tree is a bad thing. If you make policy, make other maintainers follow it. I am not against consistent policy that ease life BOTH for developers and users. You think that REQUIRED_USE is abusive to users: fine. Point accepted. I think that provided DEPEND strings if they will be typed at every single qt-related ebuild that needs them are abusive to developers. So, maybe we should wrap them into eclass and stop riding our own bicycles... And then - use apropriate one-liner where it's needed, providing reasonable default and NOT confusing users with overmanaging their package.use -- Best regards, Sergey Popov Gentoo developer Gentoo Desktop Effects project lead Gentoo Quality Assurance project lead Gentoo Proxy maintainers project lead
