Description Alexey Shildyakov 2018-10-02 10:41:53 UTC
Page https://devmanual.gentoo.org/general-concepts/features/ missed a lot of flags described in the man make.conf(5) like:
- cgroups
- network-sandbox
- ipc-sandbox
 and many of them

Should we add the info or make a link to actual make.conf(5) manual FEATURES section?
Comment 1 Michael Orlitzky gentoo-dev 2019-04-25 11:51:35 UTC
I think we should just remove the page, and tell people to read make.conf(5) instead. The FEATURES variable is for local, portage-specific configuration only.
Comment 2 Ulrich Müller gentoo-dev 2020-01-23 13:32:30 UTC
Maybe include make.conf(5) in eclass-reference/ instead? We already have ebuild(5) there.

+1

We should just remove the page. It doesn't pertain to ebuild development. We don't write FEATURES specific ebuild code AFAIK. If anything, this information should go to the Gentoo Handbook.
Comment 4 Ulrich Müller gentoo-dev 2022-06-04 10:29:50 UTC
make.conf(5) was added in this commit:
https://gitweb.gentoo.org/proj/devmanual.git/commit/?id=7cb71c2f1ff1da24215f40d57732d59ae7b618a4

    general-concepts/features: Remove
    
    Incomplete and outdated. make.conf(5) is a better reference and is
    available in eclass-reference/.
