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.

Mapserver ebuild has been corrected, thanks for the reminder.

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