Description Michał Górny archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2015-11-22 23:22:13 UTC 
toolchain.eclass and toolchain-binutils.eclass both call 'use' in global scope. This has been always prohibited by PMS and will also now be prohibited by Portage. Please remove those global USE calls. Thank you.

This is not a duplicate as you can see e.g. from a different topic.

Solving bug #174407 would solve this one.
Comment 4 Anthony Basile gentoo-dev 2015-11-23 08:42:26 UTC 
Actually looking over those eclasses the only instance of use in the global scope is `use multislot`.  Did I miss any?

@comrel, vapier is repeatedly closing this bug as duplicate of semi-related bug even though asked not to, and does so without a single word of explanation.

That's not an explanation, it's an unfulfilled dream for a feature.
Comment 9 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2015-11-23 11:31:03 UTC 
that's your opinion.  feel free to read the long history that predates PMS.  either way, there's nothing new in this bug report.
