Often, when playing around with new software, trying new ebuilds (sometimes randomly), etc., I see an ebuild with a bunch of USE flags I haven't considered before, sometimes local useflags. It would be nice if I could simply copy and paste all or some of those useflags right into an euse -i command line. A good example ebuild is mozilla, because it has a bunch of mozilla-specific flags (although obviously this isn't one I was just "playing" with): www-client/mozilla-1.7.7 +crypt -debug +gnome +java -ldap -mozdevelop -moznomail -moznoxft +mozsvg -mozxmlterm -postgres +ssl -xinerama -xprint 29,435 kB I'd like to just copy the "-moznomail -moznoxft +mozsvg -mozxmlterm" part, for example, and have euse understand this: # euse -i -moznomail -moznoxft +mozsvg -mozxmlterm How 'bout it? :) (Even better, "euse -i -e mozilla" would be great, but that's for another request.)
(BTW, I realize equery can almost do that last bit, but you have to have the package already merged...no sense! :P)
aux-get will solve this soon
equery uses -a <pkg> Not going for this, would limit possible options in the future (e.g. -X).
