Does this means x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers? If so, it would make sense to mask it globally and unmask on amd64/x86 like video_cards_nvidia is.

Also i think metadata should be fixed, actually it is:
	<flag name="vdpau">Enables VDPAU decoders (requires nVidia video cards to offload CPU processing to video card</flag>


what about:

	<flag name="vdpau">Enables VDPAU decoders (requires nVidia video cards and binary nvidia-drivers to offload CPU processing to video card)</flag> <- note the missing closing parenthesis(sp?)

yes, though, some arches rant when someone touches their profile without letting them do it within a bug so i dont do this when not absolutely needed and let everyone do it

note also that this is a local useflag, not a global one, so im not sure it should/has to be handled like that

In the solution Raúl presented, you wouldn't be touching any arch profiles except x86/amd64's.

USE=vdpau masked for HPPA.
Marked ~hppa again.

If you have doubts mind asking on the -dev ml? Even if its a local use-flag, spreading it through all the profiles when only two profiles are going to benefit(and that isn't going to change) doesn't make sense.

As a member of the x86 team, i let you touch our profile :)

Also i'm pretty sure a lot of use-masks unmasked on (at least) the x86 profile are local and not global.

[Comment 8 Alexis Ballier 2011-12-22 12:27:40 UTC]

masked/unmasked vdpau globally then

note that, technically, vdpau is made for non-nvidia cards too, but i've never seen anything else but nvidia supporting it :/
