Maybe other option could be rename "automount" USE flag to "nautilus" because: 1. Most common users will tend to enable any "automount" related stuff, even when using nautilus 2. Expected build for using with nautilus is with --disable-automount for preventing conflicts. From gnome-volume-manager Changelog: * src/manager.c: Conditionally disable all of the auto-mounting code which Nautilus is now supposed to handle starting with GNOME 2.22, as far as I understand... Also, distributions like fedora builds gnome-volume-manager disabling automount because most of its users will use gnome+nautilus 3. With a "nautilus" USE flag, people (like me) that uses gnome+nautilus will tend to enable it globally (for enabling nautilus support for file-roller, seahorse, gnome-mount...). This would also build gnome-volume-manager without automount support (better for usage with nautilus) Other people who use pcman or thunar (for example), will tend to disable "nautilus" USE flag globally, getting gnome-volume-manager merged with automount support (expected behavior for these users) Thanks a lot for opening this bug also :-)
Upgrade guide updated in CVS. @Pacho, from the looks of it, g-v-m is on its way out anyway. Let's keep things simple for now, we can always revisit later. Besides, it's only a useflag :) Thanks
