> I've written a patch [1] that implements support for use.force and package.use.force as originally described by Sven Wegener [2] over a year ago. Basically, this feature is the exact opposite of use.mask and package.use.mask. It forces USE flags to be enabled. The only way to disable these forced flags is to mask them via use.mask/package.use.mask or to "unforce" them in the profile stack. Users can unforce them via /etc/portage/profile/{use.force,package.use.force} in the usual "-flag" way. |

Looks useful for arch teams. Doesn't seem very interesting for |

package maintainers. |

Any chance of per-package USE defaults support? That's much more useful to me. |
