Thank's. That is exactly what I was looking for.
But that will likely break, or render useless, the ufed tool.
If you don't use that, you probably should.
I'm really unconvinced by ufed.
In a standard terminal window, 80 characters wide, the descriptions
are too long and instead of wrapping around to the next line they fall
off the end of the screen and you can't read them. Sure, I can resize
the terminal window, but I don't want to have to do that manually each
time I run ufed, then resize it back to my usual size again
afterwards. ufed is about the only program I've used which doesn't
seem right in my "standard" terminal window size of 50 rows x 80
columns.
or you can, you know, scroll it.
Protip: arrow keys, left, right.
Nah, that just doesn't cut it. It's annoying as hell. It's far less
annoying to simply "equery uses" on the USE flags you see during an
"emerge -a" and edit make.conf by hand instead of doing the
scroll-circus. You try to read text by constantly scrolling right and
left. It doesn't work for me, and probably for the majority of others
neither.
