I don't think this is about interactive or non-interactive, it's more |
| 9 |
about strict and non-strict. I think it would be nice to have the |
| 10 |
"you want it but did not emerge it so i don't use it" with FEATUERS="- |
| 11 |
strict" and the "sorry, not possible, i'll quit" with FEATURES="strict". |

|
| 13 |
But i really think this is not about helping but about confusion. If |
| 14 |
i post my emerge --info you don't know if i really use confcache even |
| 15 |
if i have FEATURES="confcache", because emerge --info does not say if |
| 16 |
i have emerged confcache and, if i have emerged it, which version it |
| 17 |
is. I think this should also be listed in emerge --info. |
