Bugzilla Bug 190783

On an update from kdesvn-0.9.2 to kdesvn-0.11.2 the 'debug' and some other use
flags were removed.


# emerge -pv kdesvn

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies                                   ... done!
[ebuild     U ] dev-util/kdesvn-0.11.2 [0.9.2] USE="(-arts%*) (-debug%*)
(-xinerama%)" 0 kB


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. update from kdesvn-0.9.2 to kdesvn-0.11.2 or higher


Actual Results:  
no debugable version of kdesvn

Well, this is not a kdesvn issue - it never (explicitly) had this flag to start
with. The change actually happened with the introduction of 0.10 versions,
where kdesvn build system was totally redone by upstream and, correspondingly,
the ebuilds rewritten. The particular change, responsible for this is inherit
kde -> inherit kde-functions. If you wish to restore that you may change that
line to inherit kde instead of kde-functions. However this pulls in the
xinerama and arts use flags as well, which are notreally relevant for this
package.

I am not decided on what to do here. If you want to have this flag back, could
you please test this change and report whether:

1. enabling debug actually made any difference? (I haven't ever tested it like
that, in fact I "took over" this package at about the time of that change I
mentioned. I suspect that flag was only enabling debug info for the relevant
kdelibs, which were compiled before anyway).

2. that was helpfull.

add the debug USE flag to the ebuild

Add the debug USE flag to the kdesvn ebuild

I wrote this patch. Now it compiles as debug version if i set the debug USE
flag.

Thank rf. I have cleaned up a patch a bit and added the debug to 0.11.2, 0.12.1
and 0.13.0. Please test.
