Well if I want know something about a USE flag, I use "euse -i", but its output is incomplete. For example: euse -i minimal minimal [-] [ ] [L] [sys-apps/iproute2] : Builds and installs only the traffic . . but and vim "minimal" USE flag? In www.gentoo-portage.com read: minimal - Build vim with minimal features, resulting in a ~430K binary This make the use command useless! Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
Seems to only get one of them (I guess the last one). root@laureate:/usr/portage/profiles# grep :minimal use.local.desc app-editors/vim:minimal - Build vim with minimal features, resulting in a ~430K binary net-analyzer/net-snmp:minimal - Installs only the libs/daemons needed to be snmp monitored net-www/drupal:minimal - Disables installing the additional plugins sys-apps/iproute2:minimal - Builds and installs only the traffic control util.
The problem is in here. It parses the local useflag list, overwriting any previous descriptions of the flag as it goes through the file: sub parse_use_local { my $file_name = shift(); my $use_flags_ref = shift(); my @lines = read_file($file_name); chomp @lines; foreach (@lines) { if (m{^\s*([-a-z0-9_/+]*):([-a-z0-9_/+]*)\s*-\s*(.*)$}i) { my $pkg_name = $1; my $use_flag = $2; my $use_desc = $3; $use_flags_ref->{$use_flag} = create_use_flag($use_flag, $use_desc, FLAG_TYPE->[1], FLAG_MASK->[1], $pkg_name); } } } You'd probably need to use list refs as values for that hash to make it work.
bah, I'll just rewrite this in a sane language (probably bash)
Created attachment 41999 [details] replacement rewritten in bash Ok, here is a new euse written in bash that fixes this problem (and probably a few others). Please test and see if I've forgotten something important.
fixed by the new euse in 0.2.0_rc1
