[gentoo-dev] Auto USE var generator

[gentoo-dev] Auto USE var generator

[-- Attachment #1: Type: TEXT/PLAIN, Size: 803 bytes --]

This is the first, somewhat crude version of my auto-use variable
generator.  Make sure you read the accompanied README file, and send
any feedback this way.  It has a very slight issue with auto-enabled
use variables from use.desc, which is described in more detail in the
README file.

You'll need dev-python/pygtk

I wrote it in python because most portage tools are in python, so
everyone already has that installed.  My python skill isn't the
greatest, so you gurus can critique that as well :).  I invite
everyone else to send feature requests and whatnot back to me.

Enjoy.

I would rather suggest going "official" route here, could you please submit 
this to bugs.gentoo.org (as enhancement)? You can assign this bug to me (or 
to bug-wranglers). As a bonus this will increase chances of it being 
incorporated into official tool collection when the script stabilizes..

Yes, it would be nice if this script could become official.

Bob, do you plan adding a Dialog UI to your script ?
I think it would be useful for those who don't emerge X.

All of the GUI code is in a separate class from the parsing and
generation code, so it is completely possible.  I'm planning on doing
a commandline version, but still not sure as to what an optimal
interface would be.  There's an aweful lot of USE variables, so
there'll be a cli version as soon as I can think of a way to make it
work elegantly.  All ideas appreciated.

Maybe like the "make config" from the kernel...

It's now on bugzilla, bug #2748.

By the way, bugzilla complained that bug-wranglers wasn't a valid user
or something, so I just sent it your way ;).

Here's the new version.  Just some cleanups and an explicit USE function.
Check the ChangeLog and README.

Have fun.
