Description Priit Laes (IRC: plaes) 2014-10-27 11:50:12 UTC 
As qemu has option to share a directory with guest via Samba share it would be nice if qemu had USE="samba" possibility, because this functionality requires existing samba binaries to be installed on the host machine.

Yes, it's automatically enabled even in case no samba is installed on users machine. Having USE="samba" would make things a bit more predictable on installation.

i don't see a lot of value in a USE=samba that only does:
  RDEPEND="samba? ( net-fs/samba )"

there's no build-time knobs here
