Description Pacho Ramos gentoo-dev 2016-09-17 11:34:50 UTC 
Sooner or later we will need to drop that USE flag and force reverse deps to really DEPEND on sys-devel/autoconf-archive when needed... maybe for the next major cycle it would be feasible :/ What do you think?
Comment 1 Gilles Dartiguelongue (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2016-09-17 11:47:23 UTC 
If gnome-common itself does not depend on autoconf-archive then sure.
Comment 2 Pacho Ramos gentoo-dev 2016-09-17 12:45:42 UTC 
It depends optionally (that is the configure option that the USE is toggling), my suggestion is to always force "--disable..." instead of allowing it to change
Comment 3 Pacho Ramos gentoo-dev 2016-12-04 10:59:27 UTC 
[master c2cdce5] gnome-base/gnome-common: People must DEPEND directly on sys-devel/autoconf-archive for the macros when needed instead of relying on dead/obsolete gnome-common ones (#594084)
