Fantastic !!! It works just as advertised :) well done ! |

Maybe you should put this in a bug report so the maintaners notice it |
| 18 |
and get motivated to incorporate the changes into Portage. You can also |
| 19 |
supply them the diff, I think it would be easier for them but maybe some |
| 20 |
portage people around would know better than me. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
The only comment I can think of is that I would name this feature more |
| 23 |
like "per package (interactive) USE management" or something rather than |
| 24 |
just plain (-I) interactive. It has passed way beyond just interactivity |
| 25 |
for me :) |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
BTW I don't know if you included any commandline options like |
| 28 |
"--usecustom" so it won't ask and use the USECUSTOM file all the time. |
| 29 |
This is good for when doing emerge -Up world or for scalability. |

| 31 |
Great great stuff !!! |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
PD. There is just one bug I found when I do something like "emerge -Ip |
| 34 |
package" and set the flags it actually updates the USEFLAG file. Maybe |
| 35 |
you should tell it not to do anything when the user chooses --pretend. |
| 36 |
Also looks like you create the USECUSTOM file before the rest of portage |
| 37 |
starts donwloading/compiling/merging. Maybe you should also create the |
| 38 |
USECUSTOM flag right at the same moment when the rest of the /var/db |
| 39 |
files are created. This well keep consistency. |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
Just to give you an example I ran emerge-interactive -Ip balsa and set |
| 42 |
the use flags, and now portage thinks I have it installed: |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
[ebuild R ] net-mail/balsa-2.0.9-r1 |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
That is because there is a "/var/db/pkg/net-mail/balsa-2.0.9-r1" with |
| 47 |
only USECUSTOM inside it. |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
Anyhow GREAT job ! |
