Description Sebastian Luther (few) 2009-07-07 08:19:19 UTC

--binpkg-respect-use < y | n >
Tells emerge to ignore binary packages if their use flags don't match the current configuration. (default: ´n´)

Comment 2 Allen Brooker (AllenJB) 2009-07-07 08:30:42 UTC

What's the difference between using this and -k vs -K (--usepkg vs --usepkgonly)? A quick test shows that -k will only use the binary package is the use flags match while -K will always use the binary package.

-k and -K ignore the use flags (--binpkg-respect-use=n is exactly the old behavior)

Did you specifie -N? This triggers the use flag check too.

Well, not sure about -k, but --newuse is supposed to trigger that behavior. It's good to have a separate option though.
