Most other applications in Gentoo have USE="id3tag" for enabling ID3 tagging support: % quse -D id3tag local:id3tag:media-sound/alsaplayer: Enables ID3 tagging with id3tag library local:id3tag:media-sound/audacity: Enables ID3 tagging with id3tag library local:id3tag:media-sound/mpd: Support for ID3 tags local:id3tag:media-sound/sonic-visualiser: Enables ID3 tagging with id3tag library local:id3tag:media-sound/sox: Enables ID3 tagging with id3tag library local:id3tag:media-video/vlc: Enables id3tag metadata reader plugin. Not so with media-sound/abcde, which (alone) has USE="id3": % quse -D id3 local:id3:media-sound/abcde: Support ID3, ID3v2 tagging of audio files Please rename "id3" to "id3tag" for consistency with other applications. Otherwise it's a bit unexpected to enable global ID3 support in make.conf, which doesn't cover all apps. Reproducible: Always
We could also make USE="id3tag" a global USE flag... I've sent a mail to the gentoo-dev mailinglist and if nobody objects, will do it all at once then
(In reply to comment #1) > We could also make USE="id3tag" a global USE flag... This would be nice, although hardly changing anything seriously :)
Make it so
done
