There are other sane orderings possible, one being pkg:env:conf:defaults |
| 21 |
so that USE=xxx emerge -NpDuv world will show exactly what adding xxx to |
| 22 |
make.conf will do. I don't recall where I saw this, unfortunately, but I |
| 23 |
do know that some people actually use it for this. (Okay, maybe that's |
| 24 |
really the only other sane ordering.) |
