Thanks Zac, I did the above and got my own profile :) |

I can get package.accept_keywords work the same as my keyword installed at |
| 22 |
/etc/portage/package.keywords. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
package.use/package.use.force is a bit different though: |
| 25 |
cat /etc/portage/package.use/qemu |
| 26 |
app-emulation/qemu vde -alsa -pulseaudio -bluetooth -opengl qemu_user_targets_x86_64 xattr virtfs static-user |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
#Needed by static-user |
| 29 |
sys-libs/zlib static-libs |
| 30 |
dev-libs/glib static-libs |
| 31 |
sys-apps/attr static-libs |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
Moving this to package.use/package.use.force does not respect -alsa, -pulseaudio, -opengl all |
| 34 |
flags which has a - on them, emerge wants to turn them on again. |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
Am I missing something? |
| 37 |
Using portage 2.2.18 |
