Subject: [gentoo-user] is it ok to set local flags using ufed?
Date: Mon, 28 May 2007 11:45:21 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <d9a0a6da0705280845v59b10c03s5c5fa4c828d33622@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

I find it convenient using ufed - the ncurses USE flag editor - to
change/set USE flags.

What does the following warning in ufed mean: "Never enable any flags
other than those specified in /etc/make.conf"?

It seems that ufed writes all the USE flags selected to
/etc/make.conf, including both global and local flags.  From what I've
read, /etc/make.conf is only supposed to contain global USE flags,
with local ones set in /etc/portage/package.use...

Is it safe setting local flags using ufed (i.e., in /etc/make.conf) if
you know you dont need them disabled for any packages?
