Nevermind. From 'man portage': |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
use.defaults |
| 41 |
Here we DO NOT define the default USE flags, but the so-called |
| 42 |
auto-USE flags. This rather unknown portage feature activates a USE |
| 43 |
flag if a specific package is installed and the flag was not explicitly |
| 44 |
deactivated. This file contains the associations between USE flags and |
| 45 |
packages that trigger the auto-USE feature. |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
In other words, if we never put "sdl" or "-sdl" into our USE, but we have |
| 48 |
media-libs/libsdl emerged, then portage automagically sticks "sdl" into our |
| 49 |
USE for us. |
| 50 |
|
| 51 |
Format: |
| 52 |
- comments begin with # |
| 53 |
- one USE flag per line with a list of DEPEND atom bases |
| 54 |
|
| 55 |
Example: |
| 56 |
# media-libs/libsdl will activate "sdl" |
| 57 |
sdl media-libs/libsdl |
| 58 |
# activate tcltk only if we have both |
| 59 |
# dev-lang/tcl and dev-lang/tk |
| 60 |
tcltk dev-lang/tcl dev-lang/tk |
| 61 |
|
| 62 |
That makes sense, but shouldn't Portage not use these when operating with the |
| 63 |
'--emptytree' flag since it pretends that nothing is installed? |
