I believe you missed his email address, @gentoo.org. =8^0 IOW, he's a dev, trying to actually set a profile setting for others. But his own testing says it's not working, thus the question (for which bkohler has provided an answer). /That/ is why he's messing with the profile, instead of setting his chosen USE for that package in package.use. =:^) -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
