Oh, yes, please. "Just" something that does the monkey work of such flag manipulations. BTW: I'd really love to keep flaggie until there is your cool new flaggie2 and I'm very willing to ignore my bug report: https://bugs.gentoo.org/746542 ;-) Thanks

Yeah, I had a look on those some time ago. But how would you teach those tools to understand and manipulate USE flags properly? That's where flaggie is again required for AFAIK. Well, I never got a fan of ansible & co and instead have my bunch of bash scripts being sent/executed over ssh, opening tmux windows and such. Tested for up to 30 Gentoo boxes and that just WFM.

Hmm, that's a use case I didn't think of (and I didn't know anyone is actually using flaggie non-interactively). I guess most of the time you could get away with something like: echo app-foo/bar baz >> /etc/portage/package.use/local.conf etc. > I am rather in C than in python so I cannot really help advancing > flaggie. But I wonder whether there is a full specification for USE > in make.conf as well as for package.use/* so there was a chance to > think about a reimplementation somehow. To be honest, I'm thinking of starting from scratch like all cool programmers do these days. Perhaps I should aim for a very simple tool that doesn't try to represent all Portage configuration in AST and instead just does plain manipulations. So perhaps they'll be a flaggie2 after all. -- Best regards, Michał Górny

It would be great if you could dust these off and post them here so we can get these improvements merged. You mention in the bug that you'd rather wait for a dedicated maintainer to review them, but I'm (in name) that maintainer and I think you probably know these eclasses better than I do. With some joint effort we may get things moving here. Hans signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

Given that this eclass is only used by the www-servers/apache ebuilds I'd think it would be obvious who maintains it. I've updated the MAINTAINER and AUTHOR in the eclass to reflect that.
