No. |

In portage.use, you'd write (for example): |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
media-video/mplayer musepack |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
And then mplayer will be compiled with musepack support. If |
| 22 |
the necessary libraries/files for musepack are not yet present, |
| 23 |
they'll be installed automatically. "emerge -vpt mplayer" will |
| 24 |
clearly show that. |

If a package requires a different package, that different |
| 30 |
package is automatically pulled. |

Hm? I don't understand that. USE flags set options. So, if a |
| 42 |
package has support for xmms, USE=xmms will make the package |
| 43 |
use xmms; ie. it'll be compiled with appropriate flags. |
