13 I must be missing something. I went and downloaded the patch, patched
14 /usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/portage.py, created and edited
15 /etc/portage/package.use to my preference (according to the syntax given
16 in the bug-page) but emerge --info won't give me the output I want. Is
17 there something else I should do in order for it to work?
18 /etc/portage/package.use is attached to see if you can find something
19 wrong with it. I began with a _very_ simple config =)

21 By the way, why isn't this feature being incorporated in the official
22 portage-release? You've apparently gotten some response from official
23 gentoo-developers.
