Bug 676158 – [Tracker] Unify non-free/nonfree USE flag

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Hanno Böck 2019-01-24 11:24:40 UTC]

We have a few packages using the use flags non-free and nonfree to enable proprietary features:
media-tv/kodi nonfree
dev-embedded/sdcc non-free
games-misc/ponysay non-free

We should try to unify local use flags if they have the same meaning. I have no strong feeling which one to use, but given there are 2 uses of non-free and one of nonfree I propose going with the first.

CCing the maintainer of media-tv/kodi: Any objections if we change nonfree to non-free?

[Comment 1 Craig Andrews 2019-01-24 14:41:25 UTC]

No objection from me.

Kodi 18 doesn't even have such a flag, so its days are numbered anyways.

    games-fps/gzdoom: Version bump to 4.3.1
    
    The "nonfree" USE flag is renamed to "non-free". The "alsa",
    "fluidsynth", "mpg123", and "sndfile" USE flags are added to control
    support of their respective packages.
