Description Paweł Tomak 2010-03-09 18:32:54 UTC

If USE flag is set only in package.use, and not in make.conf, then `equery use` shows it as unset (colored as unset), which I think should be shown as set for this particular package

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. add some flag to package.use for <pkg>
2. equery u <pkg>


Expected Results:  
Use flag from package.use coloured as set

A related problem is when the package has a default use flag, that should also be indicated in `equery use`

this has been fixed in the genscripts development repo revision 416 at http://code.google.com/p/genscripts/

It just missed the _rc10 release, so will be in _rc11 or the final -0.3.0 which comes first.  It should also make it's way into the main gentoolkit repo and be available in the -9999 live build within a few days.

'equery uses' now uses portage to get determine the final ebuild environment setting for the package's USE flags that would be used for installation.  It takes into account all sources for settings including profile defaults, ebuild defaults, make.conf, package.use, etc..
