portage, as you know, checks if there is a binary installed to use it for emit qa warnings. An example could be in 60openrc for checkbashisms Sometimes people do not get these warnings because of missing installed software, so I'd like to have a 'qa' IUSE (disabled by default) in portage that pulls the necessary software for additional QA checks. When we will add new portage checks that require more installed software, will be enough to update the depend list instead of poke me/toralf on IRC and suggest to install a new package. atm I guess we can pull: - app-shells/bash-completion - dev-util/checkbashisms - x11-misc/xdg-utils How that sounds?
Can't we reuse the existing USE=gentoo-dev?
(In reply to Michał Górny from comment #1) > Can't we reuse the existing USE=gentoo-dev? since it is free, I'd keep them separate. qa can be used also by users that does not want to enable features that come from gentoo-dev
