Setting test USE flag is never appropriate as far as I know. FEATURES=test enables the USE flag on its own, and it should never be enabled or disabled in a users USE settings in /etc/make.conf or any other place. FEATURES=test is the thing that can be modified for this. -- Mart Raudsepp Gentoo Developer Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Weblog: http://planet.gentoo.org/developers/leio
