Description Dylan 2006-04-04 18:21:56 UTC

(using portage 2.1_pre7-r4)

the emerge --verbose/-v flag is turned on automatically for some packages. 
emerge is spitting out the USE flags for packages without me specifying verbose.


=================================
example of old expected behavior:
bonk ~ # emerge gcc -p

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild   R   ] sys-devel/gcc-3.4.5-r1
bonk ~ # emerge gcc -pv

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild   R   ] sys-devel/gcc-3.4.5-r1  USE="-bootstrap -boundschecking -build -doc -fortran -gcj -gtk -hardened -ip28 -multislot -nls -nocxx -nopie -nossp -objc -vanilla" 0 kB

Total size of downloads: 0 kB
bonk ~ #


===================================
example of new unexpected behavior:
bonk ~ # emerge gentoo-sources -p

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild  N    ] sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.15-r1  USE="-build -doc -symlink"
bonk ~ # emerge gentoo-sources -pv

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
