Subject: [gentoo-user] Reconstruct package.use
Date: Sun, 15 Mar 2015 00:12:49 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <5504B261.7@gmail.com> (raw)
It took 10 years but I've finally done something monumentally stupid in
Gentoo:
I delete package.use and have no backup
Is there any easy way to recover what was in it? I'm busy doing it the
long way round - repeatedly running emerge world, get past the blocking
USE, then see all the flags that portage thinks changed.
I wonder if there might be an easier way that I don't know of.
