Bug 160665 – useflag "doc" for java-sdk-docs is incomprehensible

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: VERIFIED INVALID

[Description christian hofmeister 2007-01-07 12:36:08 UTC]

the useflag "doc" is assigned for java-sdk-docs, that is deceptive. 
a "doc" useflag should be a global flag for every package and not only for sun's java. assume you don't know what the "doc" useflag was assigned for: what would you think the useflag is for? is it for solitaire-documentation only? i set the useflag "doc", because i thougt it is for all packages that provide documentation to get emerged, not only for sun's java. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.open shell, login as root
2.USE="doc" emerge -pe dev-java/blackdown-jdk | grep dev-java

Actual Results:  
[ebuild  N F  ] dev-java/java-sdk-docs-1.4.2
[ebuild   R   ] dev-java/java-config-wrapper-0.12-r1
[ebuild   R   ] dev-java/blackdown-jdk-1.4.2.03-r13
[ebuild   R   ] dev-java/java-config-2.0.31
[ebuild   R   ] dev-java/java-config-1.3.7

Expected Results:  
[ebuild   R   ] dev-java/java-config-wrapper-0.12-r1
[ebuild   R   ] dev-java/blackdown-jdk-1.4.2.03-r13
[ebuild   R   ] dev-java/java-config-2.0.31
[ebuild   R   ] dev-java/java-config-1.3.7

No, it's not. And don't specify use flags on command-line.

1/ Stick doc into USE in /etc/make.conf
2/ Run emerge -NuDav world.

Closing, NOTABUG.
