Description Stefan Oswald 2009-10-26 14:03:17 UTC
Hello, is it possible to hide the use flags they are activated by the profile if the user activated the -* USE flag?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

If you have -* in your make.conf, then all the flags that would otherwise have been enabled by the profile will be unchecked. ufed does however continue to show that the profile tries to enable them. Not doing so basically means changing

[+] flag (+ +) Flag description

to just

[+] flag (+) Flag description

Is that what you are asking for? If so, I guess it's possible, but if you don't mind me asking, why do you want that? It saves only two columns, and you lose information that might sometimes be useful.

(The middle column is no longer useful in any way whatsoever, so that one I should remove anyway.)

I mean the USE Flags that are enabled by a profile are listed as
(+) acl (+  ) Adds...

By activating the -* USE Flag is it possible to show them as
( ) acl (+   ) Adds...

because they are disabled by -* and the profile use flags are ignored.
I always read (+) and think they are enabled by my make.conf because (+) looks like [+].

Thanks for the explanation; the current behaviour sounds like a bug. I'll take a look.
