Bug 80007 – portage prefpane does not take into account all use flags (e.g. ncurses, png, readline,...)

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo/Alt

[Description Shabba 2005-01-29 16:16:40 UTC]

According to euse, the following use flags are set:

  MacShabba:/Users/shabba root# euse -a
  !!! Relying on the shell to locate gcc, this may break
  !!! DISTCC, installing gcc-config and setting your current gcc
  !!! profile will fix this
  ncurses             [+    ]  
  nls                    [+ C  ] 
  png                   [+    ] 
  ppc                   [+    ] 
  ppc-macos       [+  D ] 
  readline            [+    ] 
  ...
  Notes: euse currently only works for global flags defined
       in make.globals, make.defaults or make.conf, it doesn't handle
       use.defaults, use.mask or package.use yet (see portage(5) for details on
       these files).


But according to portage-prefpane only nls is set. 
I believe euse is more accurate then protage prefpane, as i bumped into this issue when trying to emerge package "gd", and it stated png useflag was set..


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. euse -a
2. open up portage-prefpane 
3. compare if both sets of use flags are identical
Actual Results:  
they don't match

Expected Results:  
similar use flag settings

I think that this is my thing, reassigning.

Found it, but no fix yet.

Fixed in my code, will be in the next release. Thanks for reporting!
