Report CPU Flags in News and Announcements Posted February 23, 2015 New user and poster here, This is a good feature, thank you for the script it worked well. :) However I have an observation about the documentation, in the op post and the wiki there is reference to adding the flags as such users will be required to update their make.conf (and package.use) file there is an example for the /etc/portage/make.conf but not /etc/portage/package.use. In my case I added the recommended lines to both files. This ends up creating a cryptic error message when you try to emerge something, the error below. Invalid atom in /etc/portage/package.use: CPU_FLAGS_X86="avx So I comment out the line added to the package.use and all is well. The line added to both files from the script was the line below ( created from memory, funtoo is compiling away at the moment so not accessible) CPU_FLAGS_X86="avx other ones here mmx mmxext sse sse2 sse3" Should the docs exclude the info to add this line to package.use or give an example of use maybe?
