boo hoo, get in line :P sticking local USE flags in global profile make.defaults is retarded ... this is why i filed http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=61732 ... everyone seems to like it, it just lacks portage implementation > I know it's evil to use *, but USE="*" says: use everything actually, USE=* doesnt work ... whoever told you it does lied so, to sum up: no* USE flags suck, but until something like Bug 61732 happens, they arent going away, deal with it :P -mike -- [email protected] mailing list
