I want t say two things about gentoolkit. The first, why gentoolkit doesn't show info for an ebuild wich has not been installed? (it is sometimes usefull (due to the explaining of USE flags for example), obtaining the "equery uses <package>" before emerging it. And the last, and this is very minor, a little bugs with showing USE for a package (I don't know if other ebuilds are affected). This is situation: emerge -pv xmame: [ebuild R ] games-emulation/xmame-0.106 USE="X alsa dga joystick net opengl sdl xv -arts -esd -expat -ggi -lirc -xinerama" 0 kB --- equery uses xmame: [ Found these USE variables for games-emulation/xmame-0.106 ] U I + + X : Adds support for X11 + + alsa : Adds support for media-libs/alsa-lib (Advanced Linux Sound Architecture) - - arts : Adds support for aRts: the KDE sound daemon + + dga : Adds DGA Support (Xfree86) (DGA=Direct Graphic Access) - - esd : Adds support for media-sound/esound (Enlightened Sound Daemon) - - expat : Enable the use of dev-libs/expat - - ggi : Adds support for media-libs/libggi (non-X video api/drivers) + + joystick : Add support for joysticks in all packages - - lirc : Adds support for lirc (Linux's Infra-Red Remote Control) - - mmx : Adds support for optimizations for Pentium MMX and Athlon class processors + + net : Add network support + + opengl : Adds support for OpenGL (3D graphics) + + sdl : Adds support for Simple Direct Layer (media library) - - svga : Adds support for SVGAlib (graphics library) - - xinerama : Add support for the xinerama X11 extension, which allows you to stretch your display across multiple monitors + + xv : Adds in optional support for the Xvideo extension (an X API for video playback) Where is svga use in the use list of xmame from emerge -pv xmame? However it is shown in equery! Thanks and great job!
First, gentoolkit is more than just equery, so I changed the summary to be a bit more specific. Second, newer portages don't display use.mask'd flags in the USE display at all, and the 'svga' USE is probably masked in your profile. What arch/profile is this?
