Description Jakub Moc (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-02-17 11:10:11 UTC
Unicode flag only makes sense and is actually valid if you have USE=slang set. There's already been quite a couple of bugs from people who do not realize this.

<snip>
if use slang && use unicode; then
	epatch ${DISTDIR}/${P}-utf8-r1.patch.bz2
fi
</snip>

Suggestions:

- either the ebuild should depend on sys-libs/slang when USE=unicode is set and enable slang support accordingly
- or it should die (or ewarn at least) w/ USE="unicode -slang" to avoid unexpected results and confusion

@jokey - you were the last who touched the one, mind taking care of this? :)
