Description Carlos Vendramini 2005-08-28 16:06:52 UTC
I don't know if is possible, but I think that could be a useful add to online 
package repository the possibility which allows to identify the current "use 
variables" associated with each package and a short description of each them.

I report this because the current "Gentoo Linux Use Variable Descriptions" 
(http://www.gentoo.org/dyn/use-index.xml) is not complete and I have found some 
"use variables" described into ebuilds which aren't listed on it. 

This way can produce a more useful and trustworthy tool to check all the basic 
information about each package.

Thank you...
