Hello, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I used 2006.1 livecd to install a pII machine. It's going |
| 4 |
to becomme a (minimalistic) apache2 server. I just let the |
| 5 |
installation |
| 6 |
set the flags for the install so I have these flags currently: |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
CURRENT |

userland_GNU vorbis win32codecs |
| 23 |
x86 xml xorg xv zlib apache2 " |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
Some of these flag look questionable, such as the one with |
| 27 |
underscores (kernel_linux userland_GNU) as I only found |
| 28 |
information on them, where they are describe as 'undocumented |
| 29 |
use flags'. What's up with these flags? |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
Where do I look to discern the minimal list of (necessary) system |
| 32 |
flags that |
| 33 |
must be kept? (I want to avoid negating any flags that are critical). |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
These are my proposed list of flags: |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
PROPOSED |
| 39 |
USE=" berkdb bitmap-fonts dbus hal jpeg ldap mp3 mpeg ncurses |
| 40 |
nls nptl nptlonly |
| 41 |
ogg pam pcre pdflib perl png python quicktime readline sdl ssl |
| 42 |
tcpd truetype |
| 43 |
truetype-fonts type1-fonts udev unicode vorbis win32codecs xml |
| 44 |
xv zlib apache2 " |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
So can I just use this list, or do I have to incluce a -{flag} for each one? |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
IS there simmpler syntax to globally remove unwanted flags [-*], but, not any |
| 49 |
critical system flags? (Is this the same as just leaving the flag out |
| 50 |
of the USE param. setting in make.conf? |
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
Are there default system flag settings that I can safely remove? |
| 53 |
Where is the list and how do I know which ones can be removed or negated? |
| 54 |
|
| 55 |
My (limited) understanding of flags are that the highest priority are |
| 56 |
those set in /etc/portage/package.use, then /etc/make.conf then |
| 57 |
the system default flags which may be located in several locations. |
| 58 |
Is there any docs or listing of all of these location and details |
| 59 |
on precedence? |
