[gentoo-user] ufed and USE flags

[Thufir]

I used ufed to edit USE flags with the result:

localhost ~ #
localhost ~ #
localhost ~ # cat /etc/gentoo-release
Gentoo Base System release 1.12.9
localhost ~ #
localhost ~ # cat /etc/make.conf

#CFLAGS="-O2 -march=i686 -pipe"
CFLAGS="-march=i686 -O2 -pipe"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"
# This should not be changed unless you know exactly what you are doing.  You
# should probably be using a different stage, instead.
CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu"

I decided to try ufed per <http://gentoo-wiki.com/FAQ_USE_Flags>,
however was mystified that neither /etc/portage/package.use nor
/etc/portage/package.keywords were changed.

Shouldn't changes be made to files in /etc/portagae, preferably?


thanks,

/etc/portage files are for package-specific overrides to the global
settings in /etc/make.conf and the system profile. ufed edits your global
USE flags, so the changes are correctly saved in /etc/make.conf.

Read man portage for an explanation of the various portage configuration
files and how they fit together.
