Description Anton Luka Šijanec 2023-07-28 21:19:04 UTC

I read the devmanual regarding IUSE variable and I did not understand the meaning of + and - prefixed USE flags in IUSE, since that's not mentioned there. It's described in ebuild(5).

Page in question: https://devmanual.gentoo.org/ebuild-writing/variables/index.html#iuse

This information is available in ebuild(5) so I recommend that a link is added to this devmanual page.

Thanks, sorry for the disturbance, this seems to be a non-issue then.
