The current description of the USE flag is somewhat ambiguous, making it possible for a less-experienced user to mistakenly think it has to do with Gentoo's profile system. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. euses profile Actual Results: profile - Adds profile support to builds of packages (will likely vary from ebuild to ebuild in support) Expected Results: Rewording the description to talk about "profiling" would probably remove most confusion between adding support for program profiling (http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/draft/complete/handbook.xml?part=6&chap=4) and Gentoo profiles (http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=1&chap=6#doc_chap2). profile - Adds support for software profiling (will likely vary from ebuild to ebuild)
and maybe throw in the terms "performance analysis" ... or steal some other keywords from wikipedia :)
-profile - Adds profile support to builds of packages (will likely vary from ebuild to ebuild in support) +profile - Adds support for software performance analysis (will likely vary from ebuild to ebuild) DIdn't want to repeat the word we are trying to define in the description :)
