Description Olivier Fisette (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-11-27 20:57:13 UTC 
The local USE flag "seti" used by "app-admin/conky" and "app-admin/torsmo" is  
now masked in the base profile since the SETI@home classic client (3.x) is 
also masked pending removal. conky and torsmo only support version 3.x of the 
SETI@home client, and this optional support is now broken since the software 
is no longer distributed and the service is discontinued. 
 
However, this USE flag might come in handy if optional support for SETI@home 
4.x was added to some package in the future. This is why it would be nice if 
it was removed from the conky and torsmo ebuilds. (It is no longer useful 
anyway.) 
 
Thanks in advance,

FYI Brenden. Please tell me if I did it wrong. I guess I could leave a seti 
USE flag and no dependency if a user wanted to install their own seti-4.x. 
Your opinion is, as always, welcome. 
  
Olivier - both torsmo and conky are now seti clean.

Ebuilds look fine.
