Nope, lets bring it to -dev ( yay crossposting )

The issue for those on the -dev ML, is that portage has some features
that require binaries ( sandbox, ccache, confcache ) and so you need two
things for them to work.  You need FEATURES={sandbox,ccache,confcache}
and you need each package installed.  The FEATURES line is already
printed.  sandbox is already in info_pkgs.

Is there any problem with adding dev-util/confcache and dev-util/ccache
to info_pkgs?

If i
post my emerge --info you don't know if i really use confcache  
even if i
have FEATURES="confcache", because emerge --info does not say if i  
have
emerged confcache and, if i have emerged it, which version it is.  
I think

this should also be listed in emerge --info.


Very good point.


Should i file a bug on this?
