Thank you, I've added the warning to the gentoo wiki. Btw, awesome tool ;)
I don't know python, but I'm just curious why doesn't catalyst, in this
stage, just export variables like $target/use to their default locations
like make.conf and use portage as normal? (therefore correcting this issue)
(just asking, not suggesting :P).
What else is it doing at this stage other then exporting variables and call
emerge, that requires this change in portage? Wouldn't catalyst and the
livecd's be easier to maintain like this?
Cheers

Well, package.use doesn't work how you think it should in catalyst.
It's a known bug, but one that won't likely be fixed for some time.
Basically, if you use $target/use, then it will ignore package.use
settings. You should only use package.use when deviating from the
profile defaults for a package, not when setting your own USE. You'll
need to set python globally.
