Maybe a nested set could inherit the USE flag settings of its parent set unless it has its own entry in package.use. Though what happens if a package is in both sets which have conflicting flags in package.use? I would say that the nested set has to have priority. If not, I can easily imagine people getting confused when their USE settings for a set are being applied to all but one or two packages. -- gcc-porting, by design, by neglect treecleaner, for a fact or just for effect wxwidgets @ gentoo EFFD 380E 047A 4B51 D2BD C64F 8AA8 8346 F9A4 0662
