It's used to write scripts for testing USE combinations and reverse |
| 20 |
dependencies and also for stabilizing. It can filter USE flags that are |
| 21 |
irrelevant like "linguas_*", etc. If 2^{number of flags} is too much it |
| 22 |
will give you a random subset, etc. It can grab the necessary |
| 23 |
information from bugzilla if you just give it a bugnumber and it can |
| 24 |
also do many packages in one run. The scripts are created using |
| 25 |
templates, so in principle it should be pretty flexible. I agree, it |
| 26 |
sucks a little, but contributions are welcome. |
