I was thinking it may be harder than one thinks since I don't know of a |
| 21 |
way to do it but have seen some who want something that does it. I'd be |
| 22 |
happy if it just told me what USE flags no longer exist at all. My USE |
| 23 |
line in make.conf is quite lengthy. I'm certain a lot of it could be |
| 24 |
gone. Some may not have existed for years. |
