Hi all. How do I get Portage to update all software to use my new USE flags? I made some modifications to the variable, and I want to make sure that all packages can use the flags.

emerge(1)
-N -- --newuse

Thank you.

No worries.

Here's what I usually run when updating the world.
Long version: emerge --ask --update --deep --with-bdeps=y --newuse @world
With '--with-bdeps=y' set in the file shown below:
grep bdeps /etc/portage/make.conf
EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS="--with-bdeps=y"

Short version: emerge -avuND @world
-a [--ask]
-v [--verbose]
-u [--update]
-N [--newuse]
-D [--deep]

And how to remember this... Make it a name:

emerge -DuvaN @world

Human mind is a complex organ ;)
