Mixing
Is there a faster way to pull all my previously single-USE flags into /etc/portage/make.conf?
When I used to emerge my software I was using USE instead of adding the flags to my /etc/portage/make.conf file. (Example: sudo USE="djvu postscript synctex magic" emerge --ask app-text/{zathura,zathura-meta}.
Now whenever I update my system, I have to re-emerge those programs with the previously used USE flags. This tells me I might want to add them to the make.conf file. Is there an easier way to do this than going through each line in my .{bash,zsh}_history file?
I recently found out about euse -a but I don't know if this is a complete list. If I can use euse -a then I can just use bash to put it all into one line and replace my USE="..." line in make.conf.

I decided to pull every USE flag from the last emerge for each program in .{bash,zsh}_history into one document called~/USES-- Then I rancat USES | xargs -n1 | sort -u | tr 'n' ' ' >> NEWUSESand moved it into/etc/portage/make.conf. It's not exactly the most efficient, but I think it will have to do. I will try to create a workaround for this when/if I can. I am leaving this open just in case anyone knows a good fix, because I'm sure I'm not the only person who may need this solved.

I decided to pull every USE flag from the last emerge for each program in .{bash,zsh}_history into one document called~/USES-- Then I rancat USES | xargs -n1 | sort -u | tr 'n' ' ' >> NEWUSESand moved it into/etc/portage/make.conf. It's not exactly the most efficient, but I think it will have to do. I will try to create a workaround for this when/if I can.
