[gentoo-dev] Complete list of USE vasiables...

[gentoo-dev] Complete list of USE vasiables...

[J. Hunter]

Hi there. I read the documentation on using the USE variables, however 
it was written at the time of v1.1 and I was wondering if it is still 
100% accurate with v1.2. Have there been any additions to the list? Just 
curious...

I was also wondering if, since there are matrox, voodoo3 and 3dfx 
variables, will there be an nvidia variable? Or is nvidia enough of a 
standard that it's not necessary?

Thanks.

the documentation on the website is out of date ... there is a couple
of open bugs to address the issue.  as for a complete list, the *most*
complete list is /usr/portage/profiles/use.desc ... but there may be
1 or 2 USE variables out there that are not listed.

those video card use variables exist because some packages add
additional support if you have those.  i havent seen any packages
yet that add additional functionality if you have an nvidia card, so
until a package is added that does, there wont be a nvidia use
option.

Useflags you find in ebuilds that are not in the
/usr/portage/profiles/use.desc file are errors. Please report them.
