Description Rafal Rzepecki 2005-11-03 08:12:22 UTC
'subversion' USE flag description says 'Local Flag: Enable support for the 
subversion ioslave (kde-base/kdesdk)'. But it's in dev-util/kdevelop-3.2.3-r1 
IUSE.

Forgive me the false alarm; it seems I don't fully understand this local vs. 
global use flag thing. 
 
Perhaps this is not the best place to ask, but I thought the USE flags should 
be unique... if they are not, how to determine their meaning when installing 
software? ufed only shows one description... and sometimes when I activate flag 
I consider local in ufed, I, unbeknownst, can activate another local flag in 
some another package, which may be not what I wanted. 
 
As an aside, perhaps the flag in question should be made global? It seems 
universal enough. Or maybe there is some global flag that could be used 
instead.
