A new useflag, tinfo, has been added for ncurses. I would have expected ncurses not to be rebuilt when I specify --changed-use, but portage does want to rebuild it. This isn't causing me any problem, but I'd like to understand what's going on. I guess I should note that I'm using portage-2.1.11.50 and that I'm one of those hardheads who has USE="-*" in make.conf. I currently have ncurses-5.9-r2 installed with USE="cxx gpm static-libs unicode -ada -debug -doc -minimal -profile -trace".
$ emerge -pvuD --changed-use @world These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done!
