Yes, the file is /etc/portage/package.use and I make use of it a lot, no pun |
| 22 |
intended ;-) Using this file is kind of a "backup fix" for the problem, |
| 23 |
and I do indeed have -ldap on several system utilities that shouldn't use |
| 24 |
it. The problem is that trying to guess this stuff before hand and control |
| 25 |
it with USE flags is really shooting in the dark. Who would have thought, |
| 26 |
for instance, that udevd would have indirectly ended up depending on finding |
| 27 |
an active ldap server on a booting system! |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
Look at /usr/portage/profiles/use.desc though, it doesn't seem that my way |
| 30 |
of thinking on this goes along with how the USE flags have evolved, so I |
| 31 |
guess I'll just drop it. |
