[gentoo-dev] state of ebooks
I'm not at all pleased with the current state of the ebooks. I guess I missed the discussion about it on this list before. I looked at the archives and I didn't see any response to vapier's question about *why* ebookmerge was happening. I don't want to be forced to use the ebookmerge script. From briefly looking at it, there are temp file issues, quoting issues, spelling issues and, worst of all, it seems like it installs a copy of whatever ebook in the users' home directories. That all seems not as good as the individual-package solution that (afaict) was working fine. The current situation is that all the ebook ebuilds are masked and ebookmerge is marked unstable. That's very annoying for those on stable-only systems. Michael Sterrett -Mr. Bones.- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list

The second and third are fine. The quoting is needed since FILESDIR

The first is correct. The second and third have unnecessary quoting.

That's not what use.desc says gtk does. You just illustrated how confusing the gtk/gtk2 use flag situation has been. The gtk use flag doesn't specify a version. It just says that the package should build against *a* version of gtk+. The gtk2 flag was a way to prefer the gtk2 interface over the gtk1 interface if a package supported both.

The upstream development for firestarter has been dead for some time (last news update Jul 31 2005). Recent changes to the netfilter code in the kernel have caused firestarter not to work (see bug #179792). That bug has a patch that fixes that particular problem but the fact that upstream is dead, the several other open bugs about firestarter and the fact that I no longer use it myself mean I'm masking it for removal. I feel there are several good alternatives in net-firewall/ to use as replacements for the iptables-generating aspect of firestarter.

[gentoo-dev] Re: New global useflag proposal: radius
Nothing wrong with having three packages with a local use flag. Global use flags are for use flags with global appeal/usage. So far, to me it looks like radius should stay a local use flag.

Well, I kind of mentioned it on irc, but I'll throw it out here too. I think the name "proto" is pretty vague and would prefer to see headers (ala sys-kernel/linux-headers, etc.) but since upstream uses that name, I guess I can live with it.
