I suggest to add 'debug' use flag for the "--enable-usb-debug" option


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

One thing to note with this the 0.3 release is it requires uinput to be either
compiled into the kernel or loaded as a module. The ebuild should check/reflect
it.

It's located in
Device Drivers
  Input Device Support
    Miscellaneous Devices
      User level driver support

Created an attachment (id=115527) [edit]
ebuild for 0.3

I'm attaching an ebuild for 0.3 that has a debug flag and that checks for the
module in pkg_postinst if pam is enabled.

Olivier,

it's a bit unusual to see that check in the pkg_postinst section.
I'm not sure what says gentoo's policy about it.
Won't it be more logical to move it into setup section?..

Thanks

This is in portage, thank you :)

I found that it would be helpful to quote where the setting is located as shown
above rather than asking for which setting inside the .config is required when
displaying the notice inside the ebuild.
