Description Peter Schloemer 2005-05-20 03:17:48 UTC 
mplayer, as far as I can tell the only package that used the "3dnowex" flag, actually now has a USE flag "3dnowext". The ChangeLog for the mplayer package shows this was renamed for all mplayer versions on 16 April 2005 (mplayer-1.0_pre6-r2 was changed on 22 March).

The flag was, however, not renamed in the use.mask files for non-x86 profiles, i.e. 'USE="3dnowext" emerge mplayer' actually tries to compile mplayer with 3dnowext support.

In addition to renaming, some profiles - a simple grep in /usr/portage/profiles reveals at least alpha, bsd, mips, sparc and sparc64 - do not even mask "3dnowex".

Sorry, one sentence there is incomplete:

... 'USE="3dnowext" emerge mplayer' actually tries to compile mplayer with
3dnowext support ON MY SPARC64 MACHINE.

thanks for the notice
Comment 3 Luca Barbato gentoo-dev 2005-05-20 05:56:47 UTC 
fixed now.

the useflag mask is done by masking globally and unmasking when needed.
