This is a well-documented change in portage. The use.defaults file is no longer used. Previously, this file would turn on use flags that were neither enabled nor disabled based on packages you had installed. This was a bad idea to begin with, IMHO; RIP use.defaults. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
