Description Armin Mohring 2006-12-01 00:42:41 UTC

If I enable the USE flag "doc", portage does recompile the packages (emerge deep world --newuse).
This is not nessacary, since "doc" only installs documentation.

For portage "doc" is just another use flag, it doesn't (and never will) know its semantic implications.
