That just selects packages where a use flag for an ebuild is different from the last time the package was built. I'm more interested in discovering brand new use flags. Say some package, foo, creates a new use flag, bar, then I'd like to see something like: New Use Flags: bar (used in: foo) It also would be nice to see when particular package changes the set of available use flags between versions. Changed USE flag sets in the following packages: foo-1.0.0 (a b c) foo-1.0.1 (a c d e) Thank you, Roy -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
