Hello, |

|

I used 2006.1 livecd to install a pII machine. It's going |
4 |
to becomme a (minimalistic) apache2 server. I just let the |
5 |
installation |
6 |
set the flags for the install so I have these flags currently: |
7 |
|

CURRENT |

userland_GNU vorbis win32codecs |
23 |
x86 xml xorg xv zlib apache2 " |
24 |
|
25 |
|
26 |
Some of these flag look questionable, such as the one with |
27 |
underscores (kernel_linux userland_GNU) as I only found |
28 |
information on them, where they are describe as 'undocumented |
29 |
use flags'. What's up with these flags? |
30 |
|
31 |
Where do I look to discern the minimal list of (necessary) system |
32 |
flags that |
33 |
must be kept? (I want to avoid negating any flags that are critical). |
34 |
|
35 |
|
36 |
These are my proposed list of flags: |
37 |
|
38 |
PROPOSED |
39 |
USE=" berkdb bitmap-fonts dbus hal jpeg ldap mp3 mpeg ncurses |
40 |
nls nptl nptlonly |
41 |
ogg pam pcre pdflib perl png python quicktime readline sdl ssl |
42 |
tcpd truetype |
43 |
truetype-fonts type1-fonts udev unicode vorbis win32codecs xml |
44 |
xv zlib apache2 " |
45 |
|
46 |
So can I just use this list, or do I have to incluce a -{flag} for each one? |
47 |
|
48 |
IS there simmpler syntax to globally remove unwanted flags [-*], but, not any |
49 |
critical system flags? (Is this the same as just leaving the flag out |
50 |
of the USE param. setting in make.conf? |
51 |
|
52 |
Are there default system flag settings that I can safely remove? |
53 |
Where is the list and how do I know which ones can be removed or negated? |
54 |
|
55 |
My (limited) understanding of flags are that the highest priority are |
56 |
those set in /etc/portage/package.use, then /etc/make.conf then |
57 |
the system default flags which may be located in several locations. |
58 |
Is there any docs or listing of all of these location and details |
59 |
on precedence? |
