Comment 1 Petteri Räty (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-02-24 00:44:07 UTC 
Hmm sorry. I put actual results to expected and the other way around.
Comment 2 Petteri Räty (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-02-24 00:47:28 UTC 
mplayer was just an example. I want to do USE="*" to easily test an ebuild I am making.
Comment 3 Petteri Räty (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-02-24 00:53:20 UTC 
After disgussion on #gentoo-portage it seems that USE="*" isn't supposed to work and there's some repoman hack involved here. How about adding an option to ebuild to enable all the use flags? That way normal users don't mess with it and those using it should know what they are doing.
Comment 4 Nicholas Jones (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-02-24 23:34:03 UTC 
No. Do some sed on the list if you want that.
Normal users shouldn't enable most flags anyway.
