It used to be that if you had certain packages installed (e.g. perl) |
| 20 |
that provided a USE flag and that flag wasn't explicitly mentioned in |
| 21 |
your make.conf, it would automatically enable that flag for you. This |
| 22 |
behaviour has been removed in the latest ~x86 portage and should be |
| 23 |
filtering down to stable before long. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
* beside a USE flag in emerge -p always means that the state of the flag |
| 26 |
(enabled or disabled) has changed since the package was last installed. |
| 27 |
The state seen in the emerge -p output is how the package *will* be |
| 28 |
installed. |
