I have to agree with this. We need a mailing list or some kind of announcement that USE flags are changing and what they are changing too. qt has split into qt3 and qt4 from what I have read. I recently found out that tkinter has become tk but only after my emerge -e world failed at pysol because python was emerged without the support. Thank goodness for --resume. Where does a person go to make this suggestion? It could be as simple as a mailing list that we can subscribe to like this one and/or a thread on the forums that people can subscribe to. They are making things better but we need to be informed of what they are changing, especially something as critical as the USE flags. Dale :-) :-) -- [email protected] mailing list
