I can't find any other decent solution. Just setting the USE information in the packages isn't sufficient, you would need to save the CFLAGS and other stuff as well. Because of all the possible settings (and the major consequences these might have) all systems that use the binaries do not set individual use flags themselves: everything is either in profile, or in the (common) /etc/portage directory. Just as if it was a binary distribution. -- [email protected] mailing list
