For reference, there are a couple of other bugs that need patching too. Those two patches only get it to run at all. Patches #3, #4, #5, #6 (all six by yours truly) fix or work around other bugs. Also, with stacked profiles (that includes *all* non-deprecated x86 Linux profiles) ufed 0.35-r1 must be used, but it's not marked stable, so either ACCEPT_KEYWORDS or /etc/portage/package.keywords must be used.

This isn't the USE flag grouping that's been talked about. Glad you like it anyway though  |

Thank you very much! I was looking for an ufed replacement, and this one is also better.
The devs should keep an eye on it, as the noobs installing Gentoo for the first time need a good way of selecting their USE flags. With this program surely they won't look at them carefully... so imagine having to edit make.conf by hand

I had the same problem with the ufed patches. Upgrading to dialog-1.0.20040731 solved all my problems.

feature req:
search function.
in the kernel menuconfig (and i use this example only because it looks the same) hitting '/' will let you search for a string. something like that would be great here as well, just for situations where you go paging through three categories before finally finding that 'pwdb' is in sys. (which is where i should have looked in the first place, but that's besides the point.)
if this is another feature i'm requesting that's already implemented feel free to mock me publicly.
cheers.

Interesting, I didn't know that. I don't believe it's possible with plain old dialog, but I'll try and modify used to use the kernel's modified version of dialog. After that I might be able to add this.
Update: Since lxdialog likes crashes for me, and I haven't been able to figure out why yet, I would appreciate it if anyone can write a simple shell script that uses lxdialog (with a menu). Extremely basic. As long as it doesn't crash. (I'll ask this later in a new thread if no one who reads this is able to help...) |

| Code: |
#!/bin/bash
./lxdialog --title "Hello TrueDFX" --yesno "Do you want to see a menu?" 10 60
if [ $? -eq 0 ] ; then
./lxdialog --menu "Fun stuff" 20 60 15 4 1 "one fish" 2 "two fish" 3 "red fish" 4 "blue fish"
./lxdialog --title "Nothing to see here" --menu "Great TV shows" 20 60 15 2 1 "Get Smart" 2 "Earthworm Jim" 3 "The Jack Benny Show"
else
echo "fine, be that way"
fi
|
Note that it is easy to crash lxdialog if you give an unreasonable width or height that exceeds the current terminal COLS or ROWS respectively. Also, there is an extra parameter for the menu which is not listed in the help message: the tag of the entry which is to be selected by default
| Code: |
--menu <text> <height> <width> <menu height> <active_tag> <tag1> <item1>...

Thanks! That was exactly what I needed. Your script runs without a problem here. I can only imagine that the kernel menuconfig sets this to '' by default, which lxdialog accepts, and that that's why I didn't see it in ps aux. |

Sorry for reviving this old thread, but I just discovered it by now and I have a few questions I don't think it deserves to die, anyways. I think it should replace ufed in portage, or, at least, be added additionally. Maybe this thread should be made sticky.
First off, as you may have guessed already, I really like that script better than ufed, especially because of the categories. ufed looks really jumbled Great work!
There's a feature I'm realling missing though... what about parsing /etc/portage/package.use, too? As this is the location where local USE flags should be saved to (and I have some of them there), it's a bit disturbing that used ignores these settings.
Also, I observed something weird:
| Code: |
[ ] acl ( -) * Adds support for Access Control Lists
|
I recently added -acl to my USE flags, and recompiled everything with emerge --newuse -uD world, but the asterisk means there still packages that are compiled with acl support, doesn't it? How can I find out which ones those are?
Btw, it would be cool if you could upload that script somewhere so that one could download updates just by doing a wget instead of having to mark the entire script in your first post, open an editor, paste it there and save it as /usr/local/bin/used (or whatever location one likes). Not that important, but maybe you have somewhere you can upload that to...
Well, that's all. I hope you're still interested in developping that script

i've been meaning to search this thread out and ask the same thing. sse and mmx have disappeared. the main problem with this is the script removes them from make.conf everytime you re-add them.

| Ah, I haven't updated used in a while, and since my last update, I see some changes have been made to the /usr/portage/profiles/ directory that it couldn't yet handle. Thanks for letting me know about that, It should work now, |

Hei
In my search for the new location of the files which result in the USE flags listed in 'emerge info', I came across this thread.. tried 'used' and it works fine
It looks rather like ufed (not the beta, which has some presentation problems btw, doesn't show all of the default flags)
Anyway could whoever knows please fill me in on which file locations produce the first and second columns in the 'used' and 'ufed' displays..?
I believe PORTDIR /profiles/default-linux/x86/make.defaults relates to the first column but I've spent more than a reasonable amount of time looking for the 2nd column's source..
Mvh

Is it possible to get this into portage? 
btw, you maybe should remove " Doesn't give any explanation of what USE flags are", this tricked me not to download this great script at first

Hmm, there's still interest?

If ufed doesn't display a flag it should, please report this as a bug, even if it's the masked version. It has some minor problems and missing features too, but I had hoped the major problems were gone already.

It's also the make.defaults of the parent directory (defined in /profiles/default-linux/x86/parent), and the parent of that, until you reach the base profile.
| Quote: | | but I've spent more than a reasonable amount of time looking for the 2nd column's source.. |
This is handled via use.defaults. If a package in use.defaults is installed, the corresponding flag is turned on.
| thomasa88 wrote: | | Is it possible to get this into portage? |
Nope. I'm working on improving ufed now, and while I'm concentrating on the interface, I do hope to get anything this does that ufed doesn't in too. After that, this will no longer serve a point.
| Quote: | | btw, you maybe should remove " Doesn't give any explanation of what USE flags are", this tricked me not to download this great script at first |
Okay, I'll reword that.
And, thanks for the comments.
(Any idea why this disappeared from my posting history, even though it's more recent than some older threads in there, by the way? I only came across this again by chance. Is it because it's been a long time since I posted in here?) |

Thanks for the answers TrueDFX
Concerning 'use.defaults' that no longer exists on any of my 3 gentoo copies (default-linux/x86/2005.0)
though ufed-0.39 does have entries in the 2nd column..
Mvh

| use.defaults is read from parent directories just as make.defaults is, meaning base/use.defaults (and the empty default-linux/use.defaults) will be used for you. |

Thanks again.. all is now clear to me
I had at some stage pruned portage from my updatedb.conf, so no use.defaults were found by my much used kio-locate tool.
Mvh
