| Back on topic, I've searched for this on bugzilla, and didn't find |

| several ebuilds which have something along the lines of: |
| 5 |
| |
| 6 |
| use foo && bar |
| 7 |
|

This is correct. |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
| Which executes bar if the foo USE flag is set, the problem is that the |
| 11 |
| use function not only returns true when the USE flag is set it also |
| 12 |
| echos the flag to stdout. When you emerge something you end up with |
| 13 |
| loads of use flags outputted. |
| 14 |

This is about to change. In the future use will be silent and usev (? |
| 16 |
can't remember whether it's a v...) will output. |
| 17 |

| The solution is to do it like this: |
| 19 |
| |
| 20 |
| [ `use foo` ] && bar |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
Don't do that. |

| I'm going have a go at fixing some of the net-mail packages, if others |
| 25 |
| can do the same taht would be great. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
Don't. You'll just have to un'fix' it again later :) |
