Does anyone know why the Gentoo use flag description webpage was taken down? I don't remember the link for it, but up until a few months ago a simple google search on "Gentoo USE" would bring up a link to a webpage that had all the Gentoo USE Flag desciptions. That webpage was very useful and now I can't seem to find it any more. I think the page was taken down. I though it would have been moved to the Gentoo Wiki by now but I can't find it there either. Does anyone know where I can find this webpage.

P.S. Yes I know the Gentoo base system includes a local copy of the Gentoo use flag descriptions but the html file was a lot easier to find and navigate.

According to dilfridge at #gentoo-www, the page in question will be an article over at the wikki, once it's done. ^^

Correction from a3li: it will not be in the wikki.

I was almost certain that this is what you meant (the old version):

I guess I never bumped into the one you mean, then. :/

I use this script:
Code:

#
# usedesc v1.2 - Search portage lists for Emerge Flag descriptions
# v1.0 - Original version (jwackito/Gentoo Forums)
# v1.1 - Added local use flag lists (dcoats/Gentoo Forums)
# v1.2 - Optimised grepping (tomk/Gentoo Forums)
#

printUse()
{
   echo
   echo "DESC:"
   echo "   Returns a flag description"
   echo "USAGE: "
   echo "   usedesc flag"
   echo
}

if [ $# == 1 ]; then
    FLAG=$1
else
    printUse
    exit 0
fi

if [ -f /usr/portage/profiles/use.desc ];then
   grep $FLAG /usr/portage/profiles/use.desc
else
   echo "Can't find /usr/portage/profiles/use.desc!!"
   exit 1
fi

if [ -f /usr/portage/profiles/use.local.desc ];then
        grep $FLAG /usr/portage/profiles/use.local.desc
else
        echo "Can't find /usr/portage/profiles/use.local.desc!!"
fi

if [ $? == 1 ];then
   echo "$FLAG: Not Match"
   echo "Some flags may still unlisted"
fi
