Description Harald Armin Massa 2002-06-21 15:18:35 UTC

there is a very powerfull structure to define USE and CFLAGS in various areas: make.global, make.defaults, make.conf, environment (not sure if I'm up to date)

so there might be
+gnome
-gnome
+gnome
-gnome

during install you also have the chance to define make.conf in the /etc BEFORE chroot (by mistake)

It would be very helpfull to allow an option emerge --displaysettings which would print out what the effective settings in the next emerge <package> run will be.
