Description Mircea Sava 2018-04-16 19:23:57 UTC

Would help unclutter the world file.

Reproducible: Always

So what you want to do is:

1. echo net-dns/bind tools >> /etc/portage/package.use/foo
2. emerge net-dns/bind

instead of:

1. emerge net-dns/bind-tools

Comment 2 Mircea Sava 2018-04-17 17:17:05 UTC

Essentially, yes. Since the two packages are part of the same software, it makes sense in my oppinion to utilize the tools USE flag.
