[gentoo-user] use flags (once more)

[John Dangler]

If I add a USE="whatever" to my make.conf file, does that get added to the
flags already in the default profile, or does make.conf override what's in
the defaults file?

Thanks as always for any input.

yes, it is cascading. And your make.conf is read last. Which means
whatever in the defaults will hold unless your make.conf gives a
different one... 

personally the useflags has gotten too many for me to keep track of,
so I often use profuse

Except for the environment, which is processed after make.conf.

And /etc/portage/package.use, which is processed between the two?

Yep.

make.globals, make.defaults, use.defaults, make.conf, package.use, env.

Hi,

/etc/portage/package.use is processed last. Because you set 
package-specific flags in there.

Yes that's right.

Also if you put USE="-whatever" it removes the flag

emerge info  shows what USE flags are set

Command line/environment settings override everything, including
package.use.

I believe I will take this opportunity to remove my ears.
