On the other hand, now would be a good time for me to clean all of the positive USE flags out of my make.conf.

How about something like this?
source /etc/portage/make.conf
for flag in $USE; do
grep -q '^${flag} ' $PORTDIR/profile/use.desc || \
grep -q ':${flag} ' $PORTDIR/profile/use.local.desc || \
echo "${flag} not found in use.desc or use.local.desc"
fi

I'd be happy if it just told me what USE flags no longer exist at all. My USE line in make.conf is quite lengthy. I'm certain a lot of it could be gone. Some may not have existed for years. Maybe one day. Just maybe. Thanks Dale :-) :-)

It doesn't *sound* hard, but you would have to consider local use flags, flags from overlays, USE_EXPAND flags, wildcards, USE_ORDER, etc. -- so maybe it's actually hard/slow to do it. I found this feature request, https://github.com/vaeth/eix/issues/38 and I guess that confirms that it's harder than it looks. Checking for nonexistent flags would be easier than checking for redundant flags because the latter depends on your package manager configuration.

Some of the entries there could be over a decade old. I also have commented out a lot of really old stuff, just to see if it does anything. I'll go check man emerge and friends and then see if google does anything useful. We all know how google is. ;-) While at it. Is there a tool that tells when USE flags in make.conf is either no longer used or doesn't even exist anymore? I googled that a while back and didn't find anything. I don't think the eix tools does that either. It does for the other /etc/portage/ files but I don't think it touches make.conf. Thanks for the heads up. Dale :-) :-)

You probably don't need this one any more... you'll have to consult a lawyer to figure out what `man emerge` says on the matter, but IIRC, the --with-bdeps-auto flag (enabled by default) now does the sensible thing, by default, for both updates and depcleans.
