Because of the huge number of USE-flags I think it's time to do a little cleanup.... Please help collecting "duplicates" and resolving USE-flags as in the bugs, this one depends on.
Created attachment 96469 [details] unused local flags
CCing maintainers/herds, please pick up your stuff from the above list and clean up, thanks.
magma-plugins fixed
dovecot fixed
gnustep-base/gnustep-base: use.local.desc unused flag(s): libffi thanks, I forgot this one indeed.
kde, media-video, sound, bsd done.
The following useflags have been removed (thus fixed) from use.local.desc: net-wireless/ipw2200: radiotap (myself) net-wireless/ipw3945: radiotap (myself) sys-apps/lm_sensors: rrdtool (myself) sys-kernel/ck-sources: ck-plus (kernel) sys-kernel/vserver-sources: ngnet (vserver-devs)
xmerlin removed nogulm (sys-cluster/magma-plugins). In the future, it would be more helpful if you could list by maintainer rather than package.
Mozilla stuff cleaned up.
xen fixed.
mail-filter/spamassassin: use.local.desc unused flag(s): extramodules, pyzor, razor, spf extramodules was taken care of when this was first mentioned on -dev, and the rest is still a false finding. The other three flags are still being used by one of the ebuilds for spamassassin. Fix your list :)

Fix your list :) > blame my reply on being up for 46 hours or something...use.local.desc looks fixed, taking perl off this list, sorry for the traffic
Fixed app-misc/workrave flags
Created attachment 96568 [details] unused local flags (updated) Attached an updated list to make search easier... ;)

Thanks! done: sys-power/hibernate-script app-crypt/ccid sys-kernel/suspend2-sources
All vserver related packages were already fixed.
apache related ebuilds fixed
qmail-ldap already fixed
I was bored today. For each global flag I made a list of packages that have at least one package version in the tree that 1. isn't masked (be it hard or ~arch) and 2. uses this flag. $ for i in `cat use.desc |cut -d ' ' -f1`; do echo "-------- $i"; equery -Cq h -pF '$mask $cp' $i | egrep -v '(^M|~)' | sort | uniq -s 3 | tee /tmp/globals/$i; done A tarball of the directory 'globals' is attached (please ignore the occasional dash in front of a package name). As 'wc -l' reveals, there is quite a number of flags that are used by very few packages (even zero). You might want to consider making these local flags. Similarly, I made a list of local flags that are not global at the same time. For every such flag I counted the packages that use this flag. By "use" in this case I mean that they are listed in use.local.desc (could be masked versions of packages this time). See another attachment. Again, there are a few dozen flags that are used by >=10 packages. This is something that the user should be told about. I assume that a lot of users only notice global flags more thoroughly, because they assume that those are the ones that will matter most - affect the most packages. A similar argument supports making the scarce global flags local. An incrementally obfuscated method for getting the second list (might need checking for errors): # cat use.desc |cut -d ' ' -f1 > globals # cat use.local.desc |sed 's/^[^:]*:\([^ ]*\) .*$/\1/'|sort|uniq|diff - globals |grep '^<'|cut -d ' ' -f2 |sed 's/\(.*\)/:\1 - /' >locals-that-are-not-global # cat use.local.desc |grep -f locals-that-are-not-global |sed 's/^[^:]*:\([^ ]*\) .*$/\1/'|sort|uniq -c|sort -n >locals-that-are-not-global2
Created attachment 336600 [details] Usage of global flags by unmasked packages Usage of global flags by unmasked packages
Created attachment 336602 [details] Usage of local-only flags by packages
Created attachment 336742 [details] Usage of global flags by unmasked packages A better version: this time with /etc/portage/package.* removed and ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="alpha amd64 arm hppa ia64 m68k mips ppc ppc64 s390 sh sparc x86 sparc-fbsd x86-fbsd". Still, hardmasks (that are filtered out) are based on hardened amd64, where I made the lists. Might need merging with results from non-hardened x86 and perhaps ppc, but the difference won't be huge, I suppose.
