Hi dams,

as you seem to develop both, app-portage/profuse and app-portage/flagedit, may be you could merge some of the functionality of flagedit into profuse.
Additionally to setting useflags in /etc/make.conf it would be nice to be able to activate some useflags on a per package basis in /etc/portage/package.use -- especially as you give all the local descriptions of useflags for all the different packages.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:




PS: The URL given in the ebuild (http://libconf.net/profuse/) didn't work for me; may be you want to change it to http://damien.krotkine.com/profuse/

I second the proposal... I hope someday these two programs merge their functionalities.
