Your problem is going to be the incremental enabling thing you'd like to do. |
| 5 |
If you add a new USE flag later on, you need to emerge with the newuse flag |
| 6 |
which will result in a larger emerge than what you expect. |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
For example, if you build your system then add the alsa use flag and emerge |
| 9 |
with newuse, you'll basically be rebuilding X, kde and/or gnome, etc. A |
| 10 |
huge task for such a simple flag addition. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
Your best bet is to determine the use flags that you intend on using in the |
| 13 |
final system and be selective about what you emerge to keep the system size |
| 14 |
under control. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
Unless, of course, you don't mind recompiling big parts of the system for |
| 17 |
use case changes... |
