It's probaly your make.defaults' USE that get in there. See the make.defaults in /usr/portage/profiles/'YOUR_PROFILE'/make.default. /etc/make.conf overrides make.defaults. i understand how USE flags propogate.. :-) and as you have stated, "/etc/make.conf overrides make.defaults." ... so that would, to me at least, seem that `emerge info` should report the flags which are actually used?? i donno.. i guess i can't see how `emerge info` giving inaccurate (i.e. what is set in make.default) data can be at all helpful in a debug process. since it is the total package of USE flags, each tier, stacked on top of each other which is what should be reported. no?? As S As Søren Chrestensen said, USE flags are incremental. We provide a basic set of activated USE flags via the profiles and the user can tweak them via make.conf. If you only want your USE flags from make.conf to be active you can put -* at the front of the USE delcaration in make.conf. And there are some errors in you make.conf. The --java in your USE won't remove java from USE. It has to be -java. Same for cups, nptl and qt. hi. two issues, i will address the second first because it is shorter. the --java tag, for example, is a bug related ufed. they were generated that way by that program. see http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60342 second, i believe i see my own error here. for some reason i thought `emerge info` should list flags which i have explictly turned off, however, perhaps that isn't really all that useful either.. sorry. :-) emerge --info only lists flags that have been activated. I'll close this as INVALID. |
