I mean that a USE flag change will trigger a rebuild of the package, and |
| 16 |
the USE flag in question is shown by portage. So you'll know something |
| 17 |
has changed. If you went ahead and allowed it to rebuild, it would of |
| 18 |
course break xorg, but you'd know why since you've seen the USE flag |
| 19 |
change and know that the breakage most probably had something to do with |
| 20 |
that USE flag. |
