Thanks for the reply. I did leave it out. I kept reading and couldn't find |
| 3 |
anywhere except portage (and the hardened docs) where it would be necessary |
| 4 |
for anything in 'daily life'. And, the references I did find for it were |
| 5 |
all linked to PIE. The USE flags I quoted were from portage. Looking at |
| 6 |
the package and selecting USE flags. I've taken to looking at all of the |
| 7 |
information about a package before emerging -- it saves a lot of backstrokes |
| 8 |
in the long run, and I keep notes about which flags I've added to make.conf |
| 9 |
for which packages, along with the defaults that are already there... |

huh? To my knowledge, no package would REQUIRE a useflag. |

The line IUSE=".... hardened ..." in the ebuild specifies that it CAN |
| 28 |
be built with the hardened flag, probably for PIE. |

OpenOffice is app-office, I highly doubt most people using OpenOffice, |
| 35 |
i.e., on a desktop, would seriously need/want hardened. |
| 36 |
|

Go ahead and emerge it with -hardened. |
