Hello, |

So, I use euse to read aobut flags. Sometimes the same flag has slightly, |
5 |
but significantly different meanings depending on the packages it |
6 |
is use on. A tool with perhaps more detail or that parse the ebuild/sources |
7 |
for even greater detail information? |
8 |
|
9 |
I also use Ciaran's old (filter)script on flags: |
10 |
|
11 |
explainuseflag(){ sed -ne "s,^\([^ ]*:\)\?$1 - ,,p" $(portageq |
12 |
portdir)/profiles/use.{,local.}desc; } |
13 |
|
14 |
Which is due for updating. If does a nice job of filtering out the |
15 |
package version details, which I do not need most of the time. |
16 |
|
17 |
Suggested fixes to Ciarans old filter quickie I use from by bashrc? |
18 |
|
19 |
Are there any more detailed tools, even gui based tools, for |
20 |
reading about the details of what a flag does on a given package |
21 |
or information related to compile-time or run-time settings on a |
22 |
given code (but not including looking at the sources, I know I can |
23 |
do that)? |
