Re: [gentoo-user] Emerge --inject equivalent
Does that mean that I will be prompted to recompile when some flag that is used is changed or when new version becomes available?

This file contains the USE flags the package was built with, editing it to match the changed flags fools portage into thinking a re-compilation is not available. Alternatives are don't use --newuse with emerge world unless you are also using --pretend, or let the merging begin, hit Ctrl-C when that package starts then run emerge --resume --skipfirst. -- Neil Bothwick Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach him to use the Net and he won't bother you for weeks. signature.asc Description: PGP signature
Re: [gentoo-user] Emerge --inject equivalent
Thanks, the problem is that USE flags are not changed, but CROSSCOMPILE_HEADER_OPTIONS New option is added there which is not used anyways. I'll try that as soon as I can.

So in short usually no, it's meant to replace the --inject behavior. -- Ken69267 | AMD64 Gentoo Dev -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
