In Reply to: [gentoo-dev] KDE with CUPS by BoehmeSilvio
1 I made a patch to /usr/lib/portage/bin/use that would log all use'd
2 variables into a /var/db/pkg/category/package/USED file so that when a
3 user want's to rebuild parts of the distribution like you want he could
4 just check which packages that use'd it.
5
6 Although it only logs the USE var's that are available, would problably
7 be more usefull to log NOT_USED variables.
8
9
10 Also you could problably grep all ebuilds for 'use cups' and 'cups?' but
11 that would bring up a lot of duplicates and packages you don't have or
12 don't want installed, and some packages are possibly already built with
13 cups support.
