Description Bjoern Koch 2005-03-11 08:40:24 UTC
As there is already a global USE-flag for Evolution, why not using it in the gnome-ebuild?
I find it strange having a "-evo" in make.conf and gentoo still wanting to install all the Evolution stuff with Gnome.
As the USE-flag seems to be there to enable/disable the evolution support in programs (Adds support for evolution in gnumeric and multisync), it makes (perfect) sense to me not to compile Evolution with Gnome if there is a "-evo" set (or include it into Gnome when "evo" is set...).
I'd really like to see this in the ebuilds.
