Mildly irritating, disruptive, etc:
- Managing USE flags is sometimes quite irritating, having to fidget
around /etc/make.conf, /etc/portage/package.use and such with everyone's
favourite text editors. (Maybe I'm micromanaging them too much?)
- Keeping the crud out of /etc/portage/package.keywords and other
similar portage files (much like with the case of USE flags above) for
us who don't run bleeding edge ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="arch ~arch".
- Difficulty of predicting how long some new package compilations (with
dependencies, upgrades and revdep-rebuilds etc) will actually take
(genlop -t only knows about individual packages that have been emerged
before)
- Portage 2.2 stopping dead with "you should re-emerge foo with USE=bar"
with the new cat/foo[bar]-style dependencies.
