USEFLAG proposals

USEFLAGs are a great and easy to use feature. Anyone can create his or her own special USEFLAG for the use in PKGBUILDs. Splendid! However, this may confuse another user when he comes across a PKGBUILD which features 'weird' USEFLAG like, for example foobarbaz. To boost the deployment of USEFLAGs we should categorize popular featuresets and propose _one_ USEFLAG to enable/disable that particular feature.

Example: 'jack' (or jackaudio) as USEFLAG for all softwarefeatures which depend on jack-audio-connection-kit

Another example: 'gui' for all packages which feature an optional gui. Lc 22:01, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
