i'm for just dropping the USE flag altogether and just letting the packages always block each other
sounds good to me - i'll add the necessary blocks on openntpd thanks
done
well, the idea in USE="openntpd" was to drop the ntp *daemon* support from net-misc/ntp for people that want to use the ntp *daemon* from net-misc/openntpd (which *only* has a daemon and no client) and the *client* from net-misc/ntp. so, what we have now, is that openntpd users are unable to get an ntp client (along with other tools from net-misc/ntp, like sntp). this does not seem like a solution to me. if the net-misc/ntp maintainer managed to exclude the ntpd binary from the merge, it should be easy to do the same for its manpage.
i am the ntp maintainer and i'm tired of maintaining this hack
restored USE=openntpd due to popular demand
'USE="-openntpd" emerge world' now compiles openntpd (net-misc/ntp-4.2.2_p3)... Is this the new definition of the 'openntpd' in the USE var or should the following be changed back? -PDEPEND="!openntpd? ( net-misc/openntpd )" +PDEPEND="openntpd? ( net-misc/openntpd )"
spanky? please see also http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=148141 thanks
The problem seems to be fixed in the portage tree now...
why dont you sync your tree
