Description Hinrik Örn Sigurðsson 2004-10-23 21:09:38 UTC

The --newuse feature of portage-2.0.51 should ignore USE flags such as bootstrap/build/livecd, because there's no point in emerging those packages again after having bootstrapped and such.

This isn't easily done, nor is it good to ignore such flags.
