Description Chris Gottbrath 2004-08-27 08:21:56 UTC

When deciding whether to enable a USE flag 
it would be nice to see if there are any other packages
that depend on the use flag. 

You can of course do 

find /usr/portage/ -name \*.ebuild -exec grep -H 'IUSE' {} \; | grep $FLAG

but that seems like a bit much to type.

New version has this.

Comment 3 Chris Gottbrath 2004-08-29 21:32:52 UTC

new version of equery? I am using gentoolkit 0.2.0 pre8 and I don't see that functionality in either qpkg or equery. Is it undocumented?

It's in CVS, but has not been release yet. It'll be available in the next release
of Gentoolkit.
