Description Marcin Mirosław 2011-04-11 10:27:02 UTC

I'm noticing devs set (with +) too many USE flags in ebuild (imho:) ).
I think flags aren't neccessary to run nginx in simple configuration:
- geo
- fastcgi
- ssi
- memcached
- browser
- empty_gif
- limit_req
- limit_zone
- referer
- scgi
- uwsgi

I know i can add "-<some_use_flag>" but i think the better way is:
I need FOO so i add "+FOO" to make.conf
If i don't know know what i need i don't need any USE flag (or i need to pay sysadmin ;) ).

we follow the upstream default modules ...

Sometimes i can see gentoo doesn't follow upstream default CFLAGS ;)
