How do I make dispatch-conf merge configuration updates with my existing files in package.use?
I have package.use layed out such that every package has its own file; for example (package.use/curl): | Code: | | net-misc/curl websockets http3 brotli http2 quic |
When it turns out that curl (or whichever package) needs its USE flags changed, I want it to look for a file that already contains the package atom, and if it finds it, merges the configuration update into that file, instead of picking the same file for every update (for some reason, it's been using package.use/xz-utils). I looked, but I couldn't find anything about this on the dispatch-conf man pages. Anyone know of a solution? |

Portage always proposes the additions to be in the lexicographically last file. For you, xz-utils sorts last, so that is where updates are sent. If you had a zz-myflags, they would go there instead.
I am not aware of a way to get the behavior you want, but I will note that dispatch-conf is just passing through Portage's pattern of using the last file. If your problem can be solved, it will be through changing the behavior of autounmask, not dispatch-conf. Alternatively, you could stop using autounmask-write, and put the flags where you want them by hand. |

| Thanks Hu. I'll check out autounmask. |

| Yeah, I don't see a way to do this the way I want. The stuff you mentioned is all there is. |

Portage will create a ._0000<something>.cfg. That something will be the last file in package.use in lexicographical order.
| Code: | | cat <that file> >> <the desired file> && rm <that file> |
No dispatch-conf necessary.

Alright. That's a bit more painful than running dispatch-conf, but it's a whole lot less painful than doing it manually. Thanks logrusx! |
