Description Christopher Covington 2006-03-12 13:06:07 UTC

It would be nice if package.use supported wildcards. My personal example: I'm teaching myself ruby. I want the examples USE flag for packages in the dev-ruby category but nowhere else. Currently I have ruby, mysql-ruby, eruby and wxruby all listed. Just having one entry of "dev-ruby/* examples" would be great.
