euse has undergone some changes that rendered the old section on euse quite useless. I've update the docs to adapt to the changes and will put up the patch here. Probably this can be pushed with yoswink's patch on equery http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=75887
Created attachment 54646 [details, diff] Changes in euse
Well, I have gentoolkit-0.2.0 installed; euse fails miserably... wouldn't we want to ditch this? """ ~# euse -h readlink: too many arguments Try `readlink --help' for more information. /usr/bin/euse: line 199: /make.defaults: No such file or directory readlink: too many arguments Try `readlink --help' for more information. /usr/bin/euse: line 199: /make.defaults: No such file or directory readlink: too many arguments Try `readlink --help' for more information. readlink: too many arguments Try `readlink --help' for more information. ERROR: /make.defaults is not readable """
my guess is 'cascading profiles' are not supported well by euse. happened to me, too, after switching to the 2005.0 profile.
I think we'd still be better off with a BIG warning on top of the doc saying Gentoolkit isn't stable or maybe in the euse section alone saying the same thing. Either way, there are no docs on Gentoolkit, no man pages...so till all that comes up, this could be a ref of sorts.
Okay, I've applied the patch and added the warning.
