13 i dont have DSL at home and use my laptop as an rsync server for my
14 desktop. Both machines have different USE flags.
15
16 i rsync the distfiles directories also.
17
18 so i fetch files using emerge -f programx
19
20 rsync to desktop
21
22 emerge programx on desktop
23
24 this obviously does not work very good :)
25 especially because i want to emerge gnome and have USE="-gnome" on the
26 laptop....
27
28 this situation could be solved by USE profiles.
29 USE="gnome" emerge -f programx
30 should solve the problem also.
31
32 but i often forget that.
33
34 the use profile could be associated with the emerge action.
35
36 are the use flags now saved in the database ?
