Description Denilson Sá Maia 2007-12-03 00:30:51 UTC

inkjar is a USE flag used by inkscape package. Let's see it's description:

$ fgrep inkjar use.local.desc
media-gfx/inkscape:inkjar - enables inkjar support

Well, inkjar enables... inkjar support! Not very descriptive. Unfortunately, neither the web nor the README file appears to know what's inkjar.

Finally, I could find what it is by looking at ./configure --help output:
--without-inkjar        disable openoffice files (SVG jars)

So, I suggest that this USE flag description be changed to something similar to the ./configure --help. After all, USE flag descriptions exist to make the life easier for the users.
