With --pretend and --ask options you would still be in charge. Execute |
| 29 |
'emerge -pv foo', if you do not like the changes then tweak USE |
| 30 |
settings in package.use. I would not feel any less in control if I |
| 31 |
could see changes that portage wants to do and could force my USE |
| 32 |
settings in package.use. |
