Bug 317473 – USE description for deblob should be in use.desc not in use.local.desc

• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description fow 2010-04-27 13:18:32 UTC]

The deblob USE flag was recently added to some kernel sources. The description for the flag, despite being exactly the same amongst them, is in use.local.desc when it makes more sense to be a global USE flag.

Reproducible: Always

patches use.local.desc to remove deblob USE flag in favor of it being a global flag

[Comment 4 Mike Pagano 2010-05-05 13:18:26 UTC]

use.local.desc is generated from metadata.xml and I feel this use flag does not meet the requirements of being global as it's only used by kernel sources.

Isn't the symlink USE flag global despite being only used by kernel sources?
