The default x86 profiles enable USE=gnome by default, so if you don't want it enabled you have to disable it in make.conf. If you don't want it on by default that's another bug, though I don't see it changing any time soon, given how easy it is to disable it yourself. OK, but would you then document that _some_ are turned on by default right above the USE line in /etc/make.conf template? Thanks! (In reply to comment #2) > OK, but would you then document that _some_ are turned on by default right above > the USE line in /etc/make.conf template? Thanks! Eh, document them? emerge --info with empty use flags in make.conf shows them for you. Here goes your documentation: less /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/make.defaults From http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=2&chap=2#doc_chap2_sect1: "To make it easy for users to search and pick USE-flags, we already provide a default USE setting." If you really want to start with an empty USE, put -* as the first element in the USE line in make.conf |
