This solution doesn't scale well, it would be impossible to emerge system |
| 47 |
and expect this to be sane, additionally the lack of sticky use vars means |
| 48 |
you can have unexpected support/lack of support after upgrading.. |
| 49 |
|
| 50 |
and digging through ebuilds? have you ever looked at emerge -h? |
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
tachyon root # emerge -vp vim |
| 53 |
|
| 54 |
These are the packages that I would merge, in order: |
| 55 |
|
| 56 |
Calculating dependencies ...done! |

[ebuild N ] app-editors/vim-core-6.2_pre2 -gnome +gpm -gtk -gtk2 +ncurses +nls +perl +python -ruby +X |

look, tells you exactly how your use flags are going to affect the build |
| 61 |
|
| 62 |
USE="-X" emerge -vp vim and observe... |
| 63 |
|
| 64 |
additionally, we now have this great program for managing the plethora of USE vars called 'ufed' (app-admin/ufed).. that way you don't forget which are enabled/disabled, you can look through them all and turn on/off the support you desire.. it's a nice program, well worth emerging.. |
