configure.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install util-linux-2.20
2. type ddate in a shell
3.
Actual Results:  
ohj@siv ~> ddate
bash: ddate: command not found

Expected Results:  
ohj@siv ~> ddate

Enables building of ddate in the ebuild

ddate is a pretty useless tool.  not going to enable by default.
Comment 5 Ulrich Müller gentoo-dev 2011-09-07 12:58:58 UTC 
Reopening. The ebuild will still install a man page even with USE="-ddate":

$ qlist util-linux | grep ddate
/usr/share/man/ru/man1/ddate.1.bz2

[ebuild   R    ] sys-apps/util-linux-2.20  USE="cramfs crypt ncurses nls perl unicode -ddate -loop-aes -old-linux (-selinux) -slang -static-libs (-uclibc)" 0 kB
Comment 6 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2011-09-12 20:36:31 UTC 
yes, and it has always done that.  it's already been fixed upstream, but i didnt think it worth the effort to revbump just for that.
Comment 7 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2011-09-14 05:02:22 UTC 
should be all set now in the tree; thanks for the report!
