Description Dennis Schridde 2018-12-14 08:21:39 UTC
Currently at least two names for the 7zip useflag exist in 5 packages:
# q use -D 7z
 local:7z:dev-libs/poco: Add Support for the 7z archive format
 local:7z:games-emulation/m64py: Ensure support for .7z archives.
 local:7z:media-gfx/apngasm: Enable support for 7zip compression
# q use -D 7zip
 local:7zip:dev-games/physfs: Enable 7zip/lzma archive support
 local:7zip:kde-apps/kdeutils-meta: Install app-arch/p7zip for 7zip archive support in kde-apps/ark

I suggest to create a global useflag "7z" (because that's the older name) that unifies these.

We also have 7za ;-).  I'll take care of posting the RFC.

dev-games/physfs/metadata.xml:<flag name="7zip">Enable 7zip/lzma archive support</flag>
dev-libs/poco/metadata.xml:             <flag name="7z">Add Support for the 7z archive format</flag>
games-emulation/m64py/metadata.xml:             <flag name='7z'>Ensure support for .7z archives.</flag>
kde-apps/kdeutils-meta/metadata.xml:            <flag name="7zip">Install <pkg>app-arch/p7zip</pkg> for 7zip archive support in <pkg>kde-apps/ark</pkg></flag>
media-gfx/apngasm/metadata.xml:         <flag name="7z">Enable support for 7zip compression</flag>
net-nntp/sabnzbd/metadata.xml:          <flag name="7za">Add support for extracting 7za files</flag>
