Description Christoph Brill (egore) (RESIGNED) 2007-05-12 00:09:54 UTC
USE-flags are growing and growing. On a recent look into ufed I found out that some of them might be duplicated:

amd: Could be replace by automount
plugins: Could be replaced by plugin
amuled: Should be replaced by daemon
cdsound: Might be replaces by cdaudio
clamd: Not sure if it could be replaces by clamav
german: Should be autodetermined based on LINGUAS
evo: Should be replaced by eds


Reproducible: Always

Slowly starting to attack this.  3 packages use plugins, and 2 use plugin...so lets see if the people that use plugin will agree to use plugins :)

web-apps and graphics:

pp-editors/cssed/cssed-0.4.0-r1.ebuild plugin 
media-gfx/inkscape/inkscape-0.44.1.ebuild gnome mmx bonobo inkjar lcms boost doc plugin spell 
media-gfx/inkscape/inkscape-0.44.ebuild gnome mmx bonobo inkjar lcms boost doc plugin spell 
media-gfx/inkscape/inkscape-0.45.ebuild gnome mmx bonobo inkjar lcms boost doc plugin spell

Games team:

could we replace this with cdaudio:
 games-fps/darkplaces:cdsound - Enables using CD audio in the engine         

german:

games-strategy/x2  should be a LINGUAS thing
Comment 3 Mr. Bones. (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-01-10 03:33:23 UTC
the german use flag isn't used.  I removed it.

There's no cdaudio global use flag and the way the current local use flags called cdaudio are used isn't consistent so I don't see a compelling reason to change the cdsound flag in darkplaces right now.

removed old versions of inkscape - so there is no plugin USE-flag anymore.

Comment 5 Mark Loeser (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-01-15 01:13:04 UTC
Still remaining are:

web-apps:

app-editors/cssed/cssed-0.4.0-r1.ebuild plugin 

Could this become plugins?

net-p2p these use amuled, could it be changed to daemon?

net-p2p/amule-2.1.3
net-p2p/amule-2.2.0_pre20070422
net-p2p/amule-2.2.0_pre20080101

Comment 6 Raúl Porcel (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-01-15 13:44:28 UTC
amule fixed
Comment 7 Christoph Brill (egore) (RESIGNED) 2008-01-20 11:36:06 UTC
And what about:

networking: Could be replaced by network
net: Could be replaced by network

done
Comment 9 Piotr Szymaniak 2008-08-27 20:53:56 UTC
There's more, check out bug #206287 and comments #15 and #18-20. This looks like a real mess.

Noone working on this, chances are high the situation has changed massively in the last 2 years, closing.
