That doesn't help with linked packages with different names. If foo |
| 14 |
requires libbar with USE="snafu", I put it in/etc/portage/package.use/foo |
| 15 |
Then if I remove foo, I remove the use file. If they were alphabetically |
| 16 |
sorted, and therefore separate, in one file, I wouldn't make the |
| 17 |
connection. And I don't have to worry about sorting package.use every |
| 18 |
time I make a change, ls does that for me. |
