I'm sorry, but that doesn't make a lot of sense. use.defaults hasn't
been deprecated. The January GWN [1] specified this much more clearly.
Also checking out the use.defaults files won't tell you what was turned
off unless you have an old version to diff it against. 'emerge -uvpDN
world' will, however.
No, we didn't change the use.defaults files at all, they are the same and
will stay the same for quite some time. However we no longer add those
use flags to the USE stack, ergo, look in use.defaults to see what could
be affecting you. I think people already know to use newuse to see use
flag changes, but this tells them why there are changes.
The use.default file in default-linux is now empty. The one in base gives
you nothing to compare it against. Was there another file you meant?
There is no comparison, use.defaults IS the file. Look at it.
USE Flag package implies USE
-------- -------
aalib media-libs/aalib
acl sys-apps/acl
adns net-libs/adns
afs net-fs/openafs
alsa media-libs/alsa-lib
arts kde-base/arts
audiofile media-libs/audiofile
bash-completion app-shells/bash-completion
and so on. If package is installed, the corresponding flag is turned on
"automatically" hence autouse. This no longer occurs in 2.1.
