Description Ronald Moesbergen 2002-08-31 11:13:17 UTC

Hi,

I've attached a patch to portage.py and emerge to implement a feature
mentioned in bug #1771 by seemant. The feature will show all useflags that
will affect the build of the package(s) you are about to emerge. This
list is only displayed with the --pretend option. It obviously needs
some more work and i'm not a python expert (in fact, this is the first
time i've ever done anything in python), but this should show the idea.
I hope someone likes this enough to get something similar into portage,
because it makes figuring out the correct useflags so much easier.

Thanks,
Ronald.
