use.local.desc:media-libs/libsamplerate:sndfile - support for libsndfile is added

It's in use.local.desc... who's in charge of generating that page?  It's not a sound bug...

[Comment 2 Xavier Neys (RETIRED) 2004-09-13 03:54:27 UTC]

Dunno who's in charge of /dyn/use-index.xml, not the docs team.

[Comment 3 Andrew Ross (RETIRED) 2004-09-13 04:31:04 UTC]

sndfile is a local use flag - http://www.gentoo.org/dyn/use-index.xml lists global use flags.

If you want to know the meaning of a local use flag, check /usr/portage/profiles/use.local.desc eg.

aross@aross-laptop / $ grep sndfile /usr/portage/profiles/use.local.desc
media-libs/libsamplerate:sndfile - support for libsndfile is added

[Comment 4 Sven Vermeulen (RETIRED) 2004-09-14 03:22:08 UTC]

Fyi, dyn/use-index.xml is generated automatically from use.desc.
