GTK+ USE flag hell Part 2

Cardoe wrote this around lunchtime:

So yesterday I posted about how I felt about the GTK+ USE flag situation. Today I’m going to revisit the issue a little bit. Here’s a link if you didn’t read the previous rant, GTK+ USE flag hell part 1.

Basically, Gentopia is going to take care of the USE flag changes. We’ll host all the ebuilds with the changed USE flags and then we’ll work on bringing the change to Portage. It makes sense because it allows us to develop outside of the Portage tree and to test software to make sure it’s solid. (You know… that whole Gentopia ideal.)

Just as a note for the KDE & QT people. Hopefully you’ll take note of this GTK+ USE flag situation because I think it’ll affect you guys as well when QT4 hits the streets and some packages upgrade and some don’t.
