Description Pavel Volkov 2013-06-10 06:24:54 UTC
While updating @world, this was the line shown

[ebuild     UD ] net-misc/freerdp-1.1.0_beta1_p20130605 [1.1.0_pre20121004-r1] USE="X alsa channels client cups directfb ffmpeg gstreamer jpeg sse2 xinerama xv -debug -doc -pulseaudio -server% -smartcard {-test%}" 6,521 kB
