Bug 326405 – "gzip" USE flag description not helpful

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Jacob Godserv 2010-07-01 05:30:07 UTC]

I was trying to figure out what the gzip USE flag does (does it turn off bzip, etc.) and all I got was this from euse:

"gzip - just to commit"

A friendlier USE flag description would be nice. :)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

[Comment 1 Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis (RETIRED) 2010-07-01 06:06:39 UTC]

"gzip" USE flag is used only by 1 package.

$ grep -E "IUSE=.*( |\"|')gzip( |\"|')" */*/*.ebuild
media-gfx/openclipart/openclipart-0.19.ebuild:IUSE="svg png gzip"
media-gfx/openclipart/openclipart-0.20.ebuild:IUSE="svg png gzip"

media-gfx/openclipart already has local "gzip" USE flag described in metadata.xml.

Global "gzip" USE flag has been added by pva in revision 1.405 (with commit message: "Unmasked wordpress, bug #168529.") of profiles/use.desc. I suggest to remove global "gzip" USE flag.

Err, I guess it was commited by mistake. I was going to add such flag for stardict dictionaries that still sit in my overlay. But since I still failed to review and move them to the tree I just removed this flag.

It's still used in the eclass.

True, I've put it back but with better description.
