Hello An inconsistency in use flags is breaking my script. The use flag nvidia although declared in use.local.desc is used in both media-tv/mythfrontend and media-tv/mythtv. $ grep nvidia /usr/portage/profiles/use.local.desc <snip> media-tv/mythfrontend:nvidia - Enable nVidia XvMC decoding support media-tv/mythtv:nvidia - Enable nVidia XvMC decoding support My understanding is that local use flag are local to a single package. If used in more than one package a use flag is global. May I ask that this use flag is moved to use.desc instead? Please correct me if I'm wrong. Many thanks.
Nah, there's several local use flags that are used in a couple of ebuilds, but that doesn't mean they have global appeal.
I see. So what are the criteria for deciding whether use flags are local or global? I am attempting to understand this better so I can adjust my script accordingly.
local means not global, thats all just cause it's found in more than one package doesnt make it global we put stuff in global as we see fit
