( net-nds/openldap[ssl?] ) > Thanks for citing this, I think it demonstrates mgorny's point rather nicely; we have global USE flags for many of those modules: * nginx_modules_http_perl -> perl * nginx_modules_http_auth_pam -> pam * nginx_modules_http_auth_ldap -> ldap * nginx_modules_http_geoip -> geoip * nginx_modules_http_g(un)zip -> zlib * nginx_modules_http_secure_link -> ssl The following two ones aren't quite as obvious, but could also be changed: * nginx_modules_http_rewrite -> pcre * nginx_modules_http_image_filter -> gd Introduce new USE flags for the remaining few modules -- voilà, there you go, no need for a new USE_EXPAND and the users will even get a useful set of default modules enabled based on their global USE flags. -- Luis Ressel
