That would be a neat idea. But I don't think that's what the OP |
| 14 |
described. Packages shown with R implies it is being re-compiled. |
| 15 |
yellow or % USE flags are new ones. If you have already installed the |
| 16 |
package once, the USE flags cannot be new ;) |

I would think that if IUSE changed in an ebuild, that would warrant a |
| 19 |
version bump, but I don't know the dev's policy on that. |

Most likely those packages are being re-merged because of a changed |
| 22 |
USE flag on your configuration: does it have something green or |
| 23 |
followed by *? That means a USE flag that changed since the last |
| 24 |
install. |
