Hola folks. Currently, our if you needed to mask the use flag introspection globally, but allow it to be used for say app-crypt/gcr, the profile configuration would be the following:
use.mask: introspection package.use.mask: app-crypt/gcr -introspection Frankly, this is a bit of a pain in the ass- it creates a shiteton of intermediate files, and it requires the dev to recall "use.mask before package.use.mask" among other things. I'd suggest instead just killing off the package.* content, and folding them into use.*; the proceeding content would thus be: use.mask: * introspection app-cryt/gcr -introspection Mind you, this isn't a new notion; actually pretty damn old (been in user configuration in one form or another for a long time). For whatever reason, it's yet to be proposed/pushed for in PMS, thus bringing it up now. Any major complaints? Specifically, collapsing: package.use.mask, use.mask -> use.mask package.use.force, use.force -> use.force package.use.stable.mask, use.stable.mask -> use.stable.mask package.use.stable.force, use.stable.force -> use.stable.force ~harring
