Thanks Dale, guess that worked OK, using that output and grepping "*"
allowed me to know what packages used flags different from default.
Thanks. Now comes the hard work, heh.
You can use emerge --newuse -p world as well. emerge -Np world will
work to. Don't forget the -p though.
Just as a pointer, I am really bad to do a emerge -upv world after I
sync up. I look at the use flags, especially the "-" ones and then look
here; /usr/portage/profiles/use.desc That tells me what flags are not
enabled and what they are used for. If I need it, I add it to my USE
line in make.conf. If I see something I don't want, like mysql, then I
add -mysql to my USE line. It took me a while to get my USE line like I
wanted it but it works well. I rarely even mess with it anymore.
A lot of things are not doing it right, it is figuring out *how* to do
it right and then sticking with it. I may run up on something from time
to time but I stay pretty stable. I try to be carefull and watch what I
am doing. I'm not a chess player but you have to look a few moves ahead
for sure. You don't want to put in -X then try to install KDE after you
did everything else without support for X. Get a process that works and
don't get to far off course.
I finally helped someone. o_O LOL I think I'll go have a glass of
milk. ;)
