To change a USE-flag for a single package, you can do one of the following:
enable documentation for unison: # echo "net-misc/unison doc" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords enable documentation only for version 2.12.2 of unison: # echo "=net-misc/unison-2.12.2 doc" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords >If I leave make.conf with no one USE flag, then each package will >install with its default flags, isn't it?

E.g. if you use kde and don't want gnome, add "-gnome" to your make.conf. >Would be easy to go inside Gentoo with an active list like this.
