Hrm...this is interesting. I have a possible suggestion. Why not have an optional flag to start a curses interface. In the curses interface, it lists all the ebuilds that'll be built for the typed command, and you select the ones you want to modify, and make the appropriate changes. Once you've made some changes you can hit an update button to have it recheck dependencies to make sure everything is consistant given the new use flags. Repeat until you're happy, then okay the build process and the rest continues unattended. I (personally) think this should be optional, as for single ebuilds and such it'd be really annoying to have to work with a curses interface versus the Y/n. But for larger ebuilds like say world or system, it would be much cleaner, and likely less problematic. -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
