I like it as a simple way to modify USE flags on the fly (i.e. to work |
| 2 |
around a small compile issue), but as it is listed here it could likely |
| 3 |
get out of hand quickly, and what happens when you have a use variable |
| 4 |
called p, using -p might be confusing even if it is listed after the |
| 5 |
ebuild name. Maybe something like a --use-mask="-x +ncurses" would work |
| 6 |
and could be masked over the standard USE flags for that build only. The |
| 7 |
next questions is does this count for all the dependencies that might |
| 8 |
get built as well with that emerge command? Probably should, but could |
| 9 |
get people in a bit of trouble if they aren't careful......Of course, so |
| 10 |
could a lot of other things..... |

This idea hit me today at school and I wanted to get it to you guys as |
| 23 |
quickly |
| 24 |
as possible. So without further APU here it is: |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
emerge vim -o -gtk -x ncurses |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
This would overide the current settings for gtk x and ncurses in the |
| 29 |
/etc/make.conf file. |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
emerge vim -O ncurses |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
What this would do is apply nothing but the ncurses use flag to the |
| 34 |
compile. |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
What do you think, if you need me to elaborate I could. |
