What does it look like if there is a USE flag that no longer exists? I see ones I am not using and are using but can't figure out what it looks like if the USE flag is in make.conf but no longer exists in the tree. Ahhh, for others to know. If there is a flag in make.conf that isn't is use anymore, invalid I guess, it shows up as UNKNOWN in the description. Just in case someone else is using ufed inside a Konsole, the page up/page down buttons work too. There is a LOT of flags in the tree. I knew there was a lot but I didn't know there was this many. O_O Dale :-) :-)

Best regards Peter K Well, I used esue or something and my make.conf USE line now looks like this: USE=3dnow 3dnowext X a52 acpi alsa aml apng automount avahi \ bash-completion bzip2 cddb cdr chroot cleartype clucene corefonts cups \ curl dbus declarative dri dvd dvdr embedded escreen esd exif \ ffmpeg fortran gif gimp gkrellm gnutls gphoto2 gtk hbci hddtemp \ ipv6 java javascript jbig jpeg2k justify kde libwww \ logrotate loop-aes mdnsresponder-compat melt mmx mmxext mng mp3 \ mplayer mysql nls nsplugin nvidia offensive ofx opengl parport pdf \ policykit ppds ppp qt3support qt4 sasl seamonkey \ semantic-desktop sift smp sse sse2 sse4a syslog tcl threads tiff tk \ truetype type1 udev usb vcd webkit wma wmf yahoo zeroconf -acl \ -bluetooth -branding -crypt -doc -dts -eds -fftw -gcj -gnome \ -jabber -jingle -ldap -musepack -openldap -oss -otr -sqlite \ -sqlite3 -theora -v41 -xulrunner So, I guess you put the \ on the end and indent the next line and it sees it as one line. I might also add that mine was in alphabetical order BEFORE I used euse or whatever that was that did the chicken scratch up there. Want to try it? Dale :-) :-)

This is copy-paste (well, it's not all of it but I think you get the idea) directly from my make.conf: USE= 3dnow 3dnowext a52 aac -accessibility acl acpi ... Portage interprets everything between the as 'one' line; no need for \. Want to try it? Thanks, I'll skip it for now... :-) Best regards Peter K
[gentoo-user] How to easily find out what USE flags are redundant in make.conf and package.use?
The question is in the subject: how to easily find out what USE flags are redundant in make.conf and package.use? Someone somewhere in this list suggested using some tool, I've tried that but it was extremely verbose, and I'd had to toggle manually flags to see if it affected or not. If some tool to pinpoint redundant flags is not already done, one to echo my flags separated by it's source (profile, make.conf, package.use, ebuild) would help me a lot.
