There is no way to set use flags separately for packages in overlays. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
If you have a package foo which uses use flag bar and you want to have |
| 30 |
that use flag turned on, just put this line in /etc/portage/package.use. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
foo bar |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
That will turn on the bar use flag for package foo, regardless of |
| 35 |
whether foo is from the main tree or an overlay. |
