1 USE flags doubts (again).
2
3 If I run this command:
4
5 emerge -pv hplip
6
7 the output is:
8 [ebuild R ] net-print/hplip-0.9.7-r3 +X +cups +foomaticdb -ppds +qt
9 +scanner* -snmp +usb 0 kB
10
11 There are 5 flags prefixed by a plus and red coloured (+X, +cups, +foomaticdb,
12 +qt and +usb). These flags are already set. Right?
13
14 There are 2 flags prefixed by a menus and blue coloured (-ppds and -snmp).
15 These flags are not set. But, should I set them?
16
17 Finally there is anoter flag prefixed by a plus and green coloured
18 (+scanner*). What does the trailing * mean? What does the green colour mean?
19
20 Thank you a lot in advance.
