The way I always do is this, find what I want to install, in your case |
| 18 |
emerge -e world, and add the -vp option. It will then tell you what |
| 19 |
flags each package will use. I then go to |
| 20 |
/usr/portage/profiles/use.desc and find the flag, they are in |
| 21 |
alphabetical order, and see what it does and if I need it or not. If |
| 22 |
not, I add the flag with a - in front to disable it. If I see something |
| 23 |
it is not going to compile in that I need, I add it to my USE line. |
| 24 |

You can also use the package.use file in /etc/portage too. Then it will |
| 26 |
only apply to that specific package. Either way does the same thing but |
| 27 |
one is global and affects all packages while the other only affect that |
| 28 |
one package. |

Hope that helps. |

Oh, if you are in comand line and need to scroll through the list, try |
| 37 |
this: "emerge -evp world | less" without the quotes of course. You can |
| 38 |
use the page up and down keys with that. Works here anyway. You can |
| 39 |
switch to another console to edit your USE line and use another to view |
| 40 |
the use.desc file. Do I make sense at all?? |
