I have a system where system V IPC is not configured in the kernel, and I have set the "-sysvipc" USE flag in /etc/make.conf . Having recently upgraded mpd, I discovered that its Unix domain socket code was disabled; looking at the ebuild, there is a $(use-enable sysvipc un). This is a misnomer as Unix domain sockets have nothing to do with sysvipc. Please would it be possible to use a different USE flag as the "sysvipc" flag should refer to just System V IPC and not Unix domain sockets.
well, since Unix domain sockets are used for IPC and Unix is.. well Unix. I do agree however that sysvipc might be misleading, so recommend a better name and I'll change it
What's the use case for disabling unix domain sockets in the first place? I haven't seen any software disabling them via USE flag yet sincerely.
well, they were even enabled by default via IUSE defaults. but I guess there really is no reason to disable them, so I've dropped the USE flag now
