I said I *START* the USE variable with "-*". Here's my USE setup... |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
USECPU="mmx mmxext sse sse2 sse3 ssse3" |
| 13 |
USEOTHER=" X a52 aac bzip2 cxx dga dri exif ffmpeg flac fortran gallium gif intel jpeg mng mp3 mpeg ncurses nptl nptlonly nsplugin offensive ogg opengl openrc png posix readline ssl theora threads tiff tools truetype vim-syntax vorbis xcomposite webm x264 xpm xv xvid zlib" |
| 14 |
USE="-* ${USECPU} ${USEOTHER}" |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
In /etc/portage/package.use I have the following, much of which I |
| 17 |
would need regardless of the "-*" USE flag... |

I select the flags that I want/need. When I have to add a flag to |
| 45 |
package.use, I check whether that flag shows up multiple times. If so, |
| 46 |
I consider moving it to USE in make.conf. Recently I did try an install |
| 47 |
without "-*" under the default amd64 no-multilib profile (*NOT* the |
| 48 |
"desktop" profile). Only part way through, I already had a larger USE |
| 49 |
and package.use to exclude flags I don't want/need. For me, starting |
| 50 |
USE with "-*" and adding additional necessary stuff in USE and |
| 51 |
package.use is simpler than not starting USE with "-*". |
