Description Daniel Herzog 2006-08-20 09:11:01 UTC

The useflags "flash" and "ming" are equal by there description in use.desc

Suggestions:
Changing ebuilds using "flash" to "ming" and removing flash.
Makeing one deprecated.

I would _not_ change all ming to flash cause flash is more thought of as a browser plugin than a commandline swf creater. ming is more intuitive here.

If they arent equal, at least one description is wrong, I'd say.

IUSE=flash

dev-libs/DirectFB-extra/DirectFB-extra-0.9.22.ebuild 
dev-libs/DirectFB-extra/DirectFB-extra-0.9.23.ebuild 
dev-libs/DirectFB-extra/DirectFB-extra-0.9.25.ebuild 
media-gfx/autotrace/autotrace-0.31.1-r1.ebuild 
media-libs/ploticus/ploticus-2.32.ebuild 
media-libs/ploticus/ploticus-2.33.ebuild 

IUSE=ming
dev-lang/php (all versions) *only*


Why are these flags global? 

Besides, autotrace and ploticus should have IUSE=ming, as they use media-libs/ming. DirectFB-extra uses media-libs/libflash, that has nothing to do w/ ming and should stay w/ IUSE=flash (just changing the description) and move both flags to use.local.desc

sci-geosciences: Would you care to move sci-geosciences/mapserver from ming to flash, please? I have already taken care to move both USE flags from use.desc to use.local.desc. No other package uses the ming USE flag.

Thanks. I corrected the use.local.desc entry for you as well.
