1 I have a suggestion on how the USE variable should work (IMHO of course)..
2
3 We could place all defaults in /etc/use.d/default.
4
5 If an application is installed with USE-variables that differ from default,
6 for example if installing with:
7 # USE="-gtk sdl" emerge theapp
8 it would create the file /etc/use.d/theapp ( ${PN} ), which would contain:
9 -gtk
10 sdl
11
12 When doing "emerge -u world" later and theapp is about to be updated, it will
13 be compiled with USE="-gtk sdl" like before...
14
15 Does this sound like a good idea?
