Hey, got a suggestion for this very handy tool. Portpeek currently just checks if packages are installed in package.use. In order to ease maintenance and useflag management, portpeek could also check for outdated/invalid or global useflags being used in this file. If an useflag us defined despite not being available for an ebuild, portpeek should let me know. If an useflag is defined globally (in make.conf) and redundantly in package.use, portpeek could also mention that. Thanks! :)
At least some of that is available in other tools. While I didn't get to adding notification for oblsolete entries. Enalyze's analyze and rebuild sub commands can report on all use flags how they are used, whether they are global, etc.. The rebuild sub-command can consider all those factors and produce a new package.* file for you. Enalyze is part of gentoolkit.

I think this bug should be reserved for a feature request for portpeek and not used to steer users elsewhere. I will definitely put this feature on the list.
Do you want something more that it has right now? package.use: www-client/chromium fakeuse $ portpeek -sq package.use: No valid use flags found for package: www-client/chromium. Invalid flag(s) found: fakeuse Remove entries from files [y/n] y Removing from: /etc/portage/package.use: Invalid use flag(s) from www-client/chromium fakeuse Done $ cat package.use
Ah yes, you're right. It does do that already. Turns out in my years as a Gentoo user, I never had an invalid flag, so I misconstrued that as portpeek not checking :D Sorry about that. However, the second part is still valid, useflag defined in both make.conf and package.use are redundant and could be mentioned by the tool.
