I've got xine-ui and xine-lib installed but the xine use flag isn't automatically enabled (like ie. cups) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge xine-ui xine-lib 2. emerge -vp 3. These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies ...done!

ebuilds never enable use flags, that's your job
I've searched and I think you are wrong. When I add "xine media-libs/xine-lib" to /usr/portage/profiles/base/use.defaults it seems to do what I want. Please excuse me when I'm wrong...
No and no. The profiles do not directly relate to ebuilds and everything you change in /usr/portage/ will be reverted with the next `emerge --sync`. We have extensive documentation, please read it. -> http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/index.xml?catid=gentoo
.
Then maybe the documentation needs to be updated, from chaper "Inheriting USE-flags" on http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=2&chap=2 "Some packages don't only listen to USE-flags, but also provide USE-flags. When you install such a package, the USE-flag they provide is added to your USE setting. To view the list of packages that provide a USE-flag, check /etc/make.profile/use.defaults and the use.defaults files of the parent profiles." That doesn't comply with your reply "ebuilds never enable use flags" I'll restate my question: Could someone please add the inherited USE flag for xine-lib? BTW. this is the last time I will reopen this bug.
Please excuse, you're right. A feature that has to die...
seemant, you've recently altered use.defaults, how do you think about the future of this feature?
Fixed in cvs, thanks.
