11 The parse-clocks flag is not defined in either /usr/portage/profile/use.desc or the /usr/portage/profiles/local.use.desc files where it is supposed to be. The only mention of the flag seems to be in the ebuild. So therefore as far as ufed is concerned that flag doesnt exist.
12
13 The creater of the ebuild needs to modify one of the above mentioned files to include the flag, ufed will then automatically show it.
