[gentoo-user] app-specific USE flags amnesia

Hi,

Few days ago I have moved to gentoo. It seems like world db
doesn't remember USE flags used while emerging. I mean concrete
emerging like this:

USE="this-emerging-flags" emerge myFavouritePackage

Next reemerging demands to set USE flags again.

I know it is possible to set flags globally, but it isn't sutable
for some cases.

Is such amnesia by design? Have I missed something? Must I file RFE?

Hi Andrew,

that is by design - you may set package specific USE Flags in
/etc/portage/package.use

Read 'man portage' for details.
