 Posted: Sat Aug 02, 2014 12:36 pm Post subject: Help with USE flags % {} |
 |
|
I've been search a description of the "-minimal%" and could not find anything
http://lmgtfy.com/?q=gentoo+-minimal%25
As an example:
x11-themes/tango-icon-theme-0.8.90 USE="png -minimal%" 0 kB
What does the -minimal indicate?
additionally what does (-multislot) and {foo} indicate?
thanks
where is is documented?

You can use the following command:
Add the -g option if you want to see global USE flags only, or add the -l option for local USE flags. In this case we have:
| Code: | global use flags (searching: minimal)
************************************************************
[- ] minimal - Install a very minimal build (disables, for example, plugins, fonts, most drivers, non-critical features) |
Unfortunately, it's a rather generic description.
Another way is to use the following command:
| Code: | | equery uses tango-icon-theme |
If you read the tango-icon-theme ebuild you will notice that if you enable the minimal USE flag the package won't depend on gnome-icon-theme. This is the only thing that the minimal USE flag does in this case. On my system I have enabled the minimal USE flag for tango-icon-theme with no adverse consequences so far.
EDIT: From "man emerge":
| Code: | --verbose [ y | n ] (-v short option)
Tell emerge to run in verbose mode. Currently this flag causes
emerge to print out GNU info errors, if any, and to show the USE
flags that will be used for each package when pretending. The
following symbols are affixed to USE flags in order to indicate
their status:
Symbol Location Meaning
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
- prefix not enabled (either disabled or removed)
* suffix transition to or from the enabled state
% suffix newly added or removed
() circumfix forced, masked, or removed
{} circumfix state is bound to FEATURES settings |
