Hello, I'm missing the ability to list atom's USE flags (I + U) with descriptions and I want to add it to portage-utils. Is that something you guys would accept? What is the best way to do this (e.g. new quses applet or qsearch enhancement)? Maybe someone is already working on it?
Can you give an example of what you'd like to see? Currently you can do this: % qlist -IU hashgen app-portage/hashgen (openmp) % quse -D openmp global:openmp: Build support for the OpenMP (support parallel computing), requires >=sys-devel/gcc-4.2 built with USE="openmp" local:openmp:sys-devel/clang-runtime: Install sys-libs/libomp for -fopenmp support
Of course. For example, if I want to see which USE flags x11-terms/rxvt-unicode has I do the following: $ equery uses rxvt-unicode [ Legend : U - final flag setting for installation] [ : I - package is installed with flag ] [ Colors : set, unset ] * Found these USE flags for x11-terms/rxvt-unicode-9.21: U I + + 256-color : Enable 256 color support - - alt-font-width : Calculate the font width using a different method + + blink : Enable blinking text + + buffer-on-clear : Store visible output to history buffer when clearing the screen with ctrl-l. Read https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=129302 + + fading-colors : Enable colors fading when off focus + + focused-urgency : Enable the urgent flag when a terminal window is focused + + font-styles : Enable support for bold and italic fonts - - iso14755 : Enable ISO-14755 support + + mousewheel : Enable scrolling via mouse wheel or buttons 4 and 5 + + perl : Enable perl script support. You can still disable this at runtime with -pe "" + + pixbuf : Enable transparency support using gtk's pixbuf - - secondary-wheel : Support for wheel scrolling on secondary screens (like mutt). Read http://lists.schmorp.de/pipermail/rxvt-unicode/2011q4/001491.html - - startup-notification : Enable application startup event feedback mechanism - - unicode3 : Use 21 instead of 16 bits to represent unicode characters - - vanilla : Do not add extra patches which change default behaviour; DO NOT USE THIS ON A GLOBAL SCALE as the severity of the meaning changes drastically + + wcwidth : Enable wide char width support + + xft : Build with support for XFT font renderer (x11-libs/libXft) And now I can tell what flags are used now (I column) and what flags will be set after the update (U column). And I also have all the descriptions.
Also `qlist -IU <package>' shows only the used flags.
Correct, only the I column '+' rows are available to qlist (from the VDB), all other entries need to be retrieved, which is more work.
I'm interested in writing a patch. Will you guys accept it?
By patch I mean displaying both current and possible flags with descriptions. And since qlist shows only installed packages it would be saner to write a separate applet (e.g. quses).
In principle, yes. I do have some reservations about how "clean" this is going to be. I don't know what you have in mind, but if the objective is to exactly replicate what equery does, then I'm not that excited: we already have a tool that does it. There is bits of code that build a cache, or read the md5-cache, or read the ebuild tree, that should be re-usable. In fact I think it must be. A new quses applet? My vote: no. quse already exists, and it seems that perhaps it is better suited to extend that tool. In fact, it already searches for USE-flags in the tree (showing all of them per ebuild). Another app that this feature might belong to, is qsearch. Basically to have a mode which lists USE-flags and their description.

Sure, I can extend quse for that. $ quse -U rxvt-unicode I U + + 256-color Enable 256 color support - - alt-font-width Calculate the font width using a different method + + blink Enable blinking text + + buffer-on-clear Store visible output to history buffer when clearing the screen with ctrl-l.

I'm not quite sure about the option name here though.
isn't this identical output to equery uses?
Yes. The main idea for me is to drop equery (and gentoolkit) entirely. Since portage-utils already implements a lot of functionality that equery does (belongs, check, depends, etc) I thought that it would be ok to add this one.
