changed USE flags

Post #1 of 5 (221 views)

Hi, list
How can I find out all the packages that were compiled with USE flags
different from the current set? I built a wild bash one-liner that runs
"etcat -u" on every package installed, then looks for "- +" or "+ -"
strings inside, etc, etc, but it runs long minutes and awfully not
elegant. Is there a standard way?

Take a look at man emerge and search for newuse... I haven't tested
it yet, as it's there only from portage 2.0.51, so you may give it a try
and tell us the results.

Best regards

Make sure you have Portage 2.0.51 or newer.

emerge --pretend --newuse world

you can do:
emerge -pev world | grep "\*"

and remerge all packages it prints
or you can use a new portage feature i haven't tested so far:
emerge --newuse --update --deep world
