Hello,

Could anyone tell me if

emerge -newuse package


Actually works? I've tried it after I've changed my use flags but it didn't appear to work.

Thanks

Gareth


Did the package you tried to re-emerge actually use any of the USE flags you changed? The most common use for --newuse is emerge --newuse (--update) world, to re-emerge all packages that use the new flags.


If you're just changing the flags for one package, you might as well just change the flags (either in /etc/make.conf or in /etc/portage/package.use) and just re-emerge the package normally.
