Another approach would be to recall the difference between system USE |
| 9 |
value and actual USE value when you emerge something. Assume your |
| 10 |
system settings (default + make.conf) is USE="a b c", and you do a: |
| 11 |
# USE="+d -b" emerge foo/bar |
| 12 |
Instead of only recording "a c d" in /var/db/pkg/foo/bar-x.x/USE, we |
| 13 |
would also write "+d -b" in /var/db/pkg/foo/bar-x.x/USE_DELTA, and then, |
| 14 |
when foo/bar has to be updated, this USE_DELTA would be added to the |
| 15 |
default USE flag lists. This way there would be no need to edit any file |
| 16 |
before emerging. A command line option for emerge to forget the |
| 17 |
USE_DELTA would also probably be needed, so that: |
| 18 |
# USE="+e" emerge -u foo/bar |
| 19 |
would modify the USE_DELTA to "+d -b +e", whereas: |
| 20 |
# USE="+e" emerge -u --reset-use-delta foo/bar |
| 21 |
would set it to "+e" only. |

I think I've already seen this proposition (or something very close) |
| 24 |
on a bug report, but I've not found it again. |
