Description Chris Slycord 2008-07-06 18:54:09 UTC
media-libs/faad2 has a drm USE flag for supporting "Digital Radio Mondiale." Lots of people will see this new USE flag without checking use.local.desc and mistake it for being something related to "Digital Rights Management." As well, there are other packages that have USE flags like "nodrm" to refer to "No Digital Rights Management."

Personally, I think a "digitalradio" USE flag would better a better fit than "drm" even though drm is the correct acronymn.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Look at ebuild for media-libs/faad2-2.6.1-r1
2.
3.

Actual Results:

use.local.desc::app-text/pdftk:nodrm - Decrypt a document with the user_pw even if it has an owner_pw set
use.local.desc::app-text/xpdf:nodrm - Disable the drm feature decoder.
use.local.desc::media-libs/faad2:drm - Add support for Digital Radio Mondiale (warning: disables other decoders)
cameras.desc::toshiba_pdrm11 - libgphoto support for toshiba_pdrm11 cameras

Exactly. If we in some places use "nodrm" to mean "no digital rights management" then it would make sense for "drm" to refer to "digital rights management."

Agreed, DRM doesn't make sense, renamed to digitalradio.
