Hi!

How can i mask (or force) a certain USE flag on a per package basis? i
tried package.use, but that seems to just change the default (?). while
searching i also saw package.use.force somewhere on the net, but that
isn't used i think.

Cheers, Markus

hah, one has to use package.use.{mask,force} correctly, then it works

thanks anyway, and sorry for the noise...

Cheers, Markus

Ehm, yes, but where exactly are you going to use that? Have a look at
the darwin/macos profile where we enable "aqua" and "coreaudio".
I presume you want to enable/disable something for Interix?

i want to disable something for certain packages (fex guile in my case)
so that it is built without a USE flag, even if enabled in make.conf (in
my case threads, which breaks guile on interix).
