Description Francisco Blas Izquierdo Riera (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2011-02-12 04:14:47 UTC 
Usually package descriptions describe more accurately the objective of use flags. Prioritizing these when using "equery uses" should improve the readability of the result.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
2.equery u app-emulation/qemu-kvm

Actual Results:  
 + - jpeg                            : Adds JPEG image support
 + + ncurses                         : Adds ncurses support (console display library)
 + - png                             : Adds support for libpng (PNG images)


Expected Results:  
[snip]
 + - jpeg                            : Enable JPEG compression for the VNC console server
 + + ncurses                         : Enable the ncurses-based console
 + - png                             : Enable PNG compression for the VNC console server

Fixed in the latest version of gentoolkit

$ equery --version
equery (0.3.0_rc11-r3) - Gentoo package query tool
$ equery u app-emulation/qemu-kvm
<snip>
 + + jpeg                            : Enable JPEG compression for the VNC console server
 + + ncurses                         : Enable the ncurses-based console
 + + png                             : Enable PNG compression for the VNC console server
