Description Sam James archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2022-09-13 17:17:58 UTC
font.eclass always adds USE=X.

This is problematic for two reasons:
1. "X" use might be unconditional in the ebuild, so the USE flag is added but useless;

2. USE=X is considered obsolete/deprecated per QA policy in most cases, see https://projects.gentoo.org/qa/policy-guide/use-flags.html#pg0802.

    net-misc/suite3270: flip back to USE=X
    
    font.eclass always adds USE=X, so we can't do USE=gui for now.
