Description Soren Harward 2014-07-31 16:26:15 UTC

New ebuild adds "daemon" USE flag (enabled by default).  Disabling this flag causes the daemon not to be built.  This is useful where the user is running the daemon on a remote machine, and wants only the client(s) on the local machine.

Tested on amd64.

Reproducible: Always

anything that doesn't bring new dependencies, shouldn't be a USE flag, building the daemon take like few seconds and few KB of disk space
so, in fact, there is nothing useful about it
