Good idea... it shouldn't be a big deal to do that... I was just trying to keep the patch nice and simple. > Does it repeat the same use flags over and over again for each package, or just explain > it once? Also, does it distinguish local from global use flags? It repeats the USE flags for each package, but ONLY the use flags that apply to that package. Personally, I think this is a more desirable behavior, because of when you do something like 'emerge world', then you'll have this really BIG list of stuff, and lots of repeating USE flags. However, it puts a empty line between each package, so that each list of USE flags is shown nicely for each package.. like this: [stuff here] package useflag useflag2 * useflag - does something * useflag2 - does something else [stuff here] package useflag3 useflag * useflag3 - does yet another thing * useflag - does something And so on... for the entire list. Currently, it searches global flags first, then falls back to local flags... but you're right -- its a better idea to search locals first, then globals. I don't really think its necessary though to note that its a local flag or a global flag... its not like it matters too much when you're trying to decide whether you want to set it or not. You just want to know what the package wants to use it for. I spose it could do something like * [local] useflag - description, and * [global] useflag - description...
