Re: [gentoo-dev] KDE with CUPS

[Morgan Christiansson <morgan.christiansson@telia.com>]

I made a patch to /usr/lib/portage/bin/use that would log all use'd 
variables into a /var/db/pkg/category/package/USED file so that when a 
user want's to rebuild parts of the distribution like you want he could 
just check which packages that use'd it.

Although it only logs the USE var's that are available, would problably 
be more usefull to log NOT_USED variables.


Also you could problably grep all ebuilds for 'use cups' and 'cups?' but 
that would bring up a lot of duplicates and packages you don't have or 
don't want installed, and some packages are possibly already built with 
cups support.
