I don't understand this thing with USE="-*" |

Heard all arguments, don't buy it, don't wanna go there, wanna make |

Have you tried using the existing tools that are already in portage, |
| 28 |
i.e. the profiles? |
| 29 |
|

Find a leaner profile that more suits your needs like Neil suggested |
| 31 |
(maybe default of desktop's parent), then extend and override it to suit |
| 32 |
what you want? With a custom profile you can install it everywhere |
| 33 |
without carrying around a package.use. I can only imagine what your |
| 34 |
package.use looks like (massive) and honestly, I doubt you gain very |
| 35 |
much in any realistic sense from individually setting every possible |
| 36 |
flag... |
