1 This moring I woke up, sat down and found that I missed a tool that could
2 help me (and possibly others) to keep track of what USE-flags I should
3 enable or disable in /etc/make.conf. Lately I've been setting up quite a
4 few gentoo-boxes and from my point of view it is a bit more work than
5 neccessary to have three -3- windows open in order to 1) know what each
6 USE-flags does (or is intended to do) 2) keep track of if the USE-flag is
7 default enabled in my profile and 3) what to write in make.conf (in order
8 to get what I want but not make duplicate entries etc.)

10 Thus I wrote a perl script and an ebuild installing it, more info can be
11 found at <url: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7484 > where also
12 the ebuild is attaced as attachment #1 to the "bug."

14 Hope you find this useful ;)

19 OBS: There are certain USE-flags one should NOT play with. Thus stay away
20 from changing bootstrap, build, x86, ppc, sparc and sparc64 unless you are
21 an experienced developer, knowing what you do and having a really good
22 reason for doing so. :) You've hereby been warned...
