From this thread, I realized I hadn't ever reviewed my use flags, just added ones as needed for the past 1.5 years. So added the -* to start with. A few surprises like tetek. Found a half dozen deprecated flags. Then using ufed I discovered several new flags to try. This has me wondering if there is a utility to help manage the use flags. I'd like to know: * Which use flags I have set that are not used by anything I have installed. * Which use flags are deprecated. * Which use flags are new. Ideally I'd just add this to my daily.cron job. Thank you, Roy -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
