And that's the problem - the user doesn't know what benefit will it bring her to use or not use a global USE flag for this particular package.
yeah and it would be really nice to know these. I just thought of another useful feature. a flag for emerge that assumes --verbose but defines what the use flag's do. maybe we could have one similar to lspci? where -vv is more verbose that just -v. thx Mart for giving a better example than me. because I couldn't come up with a good one at the time. -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
