[gentoo-catalyst] Change USE-flags for stage builds

[Philipp Riegger]

Hi!

I build stage1, 2 and 3 images using catalyst. But now i want to make
them more minimal, removing USE-flags. Is this somehow supported in
catalyst or do i have to create my own profile then? Or s it the stage4
target i want to have a look at? Does the use option there work exactly
as in make.conf, that my profile USE-flags are set and i have to disable
them using -foo?

Thanks,
	Philipp

You cannot change USE from what is set in the profile on stages 1 -> 3
with catalyst.  This is done on purpose.

You have 2 choices that we would consider "right" as far as catalyst is
concerned.  Either make a new profile and use that, or use the stage4
target.  Making a new profile is likely the faster and better solution.
Yes, catalyst uses a make.conf-like syntax and it stacks with what is in
the profile.  If you do "-kde" then it is read like: USE="${USE} -kde"
when presented to portage.
