--changed-use would show the changed USE flag in the output, so it is probably --changed-deps. The emerge man page explains just what the flag does. Incidentally, there is no point in using --newuse and --changed-use, the former is a superset of the latter. I'd use only --changed-use to avoid unnecessary rebuilds. -- Neil Bothwick WinErr 004: Erroneous error - Nothing is wrong
