I still think we need a better long-term solution, but the workaround is simpler than that. I try to keep files in directories for package.keywords and package.use. One starts with a z and is a dumping ground for auto-whatever. The other files are where I try to remember to store personal preferences. So, in theory at any time I can wipe the z-file and run emerge and watch it wrestle with re-creating it. However, I think a cleaner solution would be better... -- Rich
