Description Jon Bernard 2002-08-07 15:19:56 UTC

Even with USE='-mule', the tarball is downloaded and unpacked, and the distfile is left behind. Not really a problem, but a waste of space, time, and bandwidth.

this is true... the main problem here is that the SRC_URI must remain static
(not depend on use flags) so that the MD5 sum information makes sense.

what ebuild are you talking about ?
SRC_URI now supports USE variables

this is fixed in the new ebuild i have for xemacs-21.4.9 (minor version bump)
