What would you recommend as far as maintaining my USE variables. I starte adding and adding to them, but I quickly realized that's not a good idea. So how do you maintain the USE variables?

if you want to be very precise then in make.conf use only USE variables which are crucial for your system. For specific programs you can put entry into file

Code:

# nano -w /etc/portage/package.use


small example:

Quote:

media-video/mplayer network live real win32codecs mmx 3dnow


this will add USE="network live real win32codecs mmx 3dnow" to mplayer package everytime you compile it
