useflag
We would like to put in in gentoolkit, but we need a manpage first. Thanks! Hi Michael Good work! I spoke with gentoolkit maintainer, his requirement is that the tool should have an appropriate man page. Also I noticed that "useflag help" outputs quite lengthy text. I think you could put all that into man page (but please format it accordingly!) and make the tool output somewhat shorter text insetad (like what it does now when invoked without action). Thanks! George Nice to see it wasn't universally trashed. ^_^ I apologize for the delay. Real life has gotten the better of me for a couple of weeks. I'm attaching a new version that I did a couple of days after the first submission. It fixes some minor bugs, has better error handling, and adds a locking feature to prevent the user from being repeatedly queried about depreciated flags that he/she wants to keep. I'm also attaching the man page you requested. Let me know if you need any changes made. I can get to them more quickly now. :-P Created attachment 1415 [details]

useflag.1 - man page
Looks like it is ready for "prime time" now :) reassigning to karltk (maintainer of the gentoolkit). George It's a neat little tool. I have added it. There are a few minor points, though. With the new use flag system, you will have to calculate the "net" use flags based on /etc/make.conf ang /etc/make.profile/make.defaults Also, should it not be "deprecation" (to express disapproval of) instead of "depreciation" (to lower in estimation or esteem) ? Thank you. Will work on adding the ability to calculate and use/display the net USE value, based on all four USE modifiers (make.defaults, use.defaults, make.conf, and the environment). I've seen both widely used, but if you feel that "deprecation" is more correct, I will modify it accordingly. Thanks everyone for the input. |
