Bug 211455 – [java-experimental] Use USE_EXPAND for Netbeans modules

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Petteri Räty (RETIRED) 2008-02-25 21:38:43 UTC]

Instead of a huge number of use flags on the package, perhaps we should be using a  USE_EXPAND variable like NETBEANS_MODULES instead similarly to APACHE2_MODULES.

This does not seem to be possible to implement in overlay as I did not find a way how to specify USE_EXPAND="NETBEANS_MODULES" just for overlay. So this can be solved once the ebuild is in the tree unless there is some solution I missed.

USE_EXPAND variables can still be used like normal use flags so the support can be added in the overlay although Portage doesn't show it as expanded yet.

Well, I do not like the idea of having 'netbeans_modules_java' etc. displayed in the list of USE flags so I dropped the idea for now util it is either supported in overlays too or the ebuild is moved to the tree.

Implemented.
