Description Brand Huntsman 2022-05-10 02:29:19 UTC
The message in configure --help for e16 is incorrect and the ebuild copied that mistake. USE=container should always be enabled and disabling it is considered experimental and known to cause focus issues.

  --enable-container      use container window (experimental) [default=yes]

Current git has renamed the option to make this clear.

  --enable-no-container   do not use container window (experimental)

The glx(opengl), xpresent and dbus options are also experimental but not indicated as such by their USE flags.

Containers are now enabled by default, thanks for the hint. But I see no reason to force the always, so USE flag is kept and renamed to no-container to follow upstream.

>     - Update custom USE flags descriptions.

opengl and dbus have standard descriptions as global use flags, so I don't add custom local descriptions for them just to add experimental tag. Especially considering glx works fine for me for years on different hardware and system configurations.
