1 Ignoring ufed for the moment, this brings up an interesting idea - is
2 there any reason portage couldn't dynamically manage the
3 /etc/portage/package.use file, so that:
4
5 USE="foo -bar" emerge somepackage
6
7 would add
8
9 cat-name/somepackage foo -bar
10
11 to package.use? That means a user could update packages and have them
12 installed the same way (unless, of course, I decided to specify a
13 differense USE= or changed package.mask).
14
15 Thoughts?
