Subject: [gentoo-user] USE flags...
Date: Mon, 18 Jul 2005 11:24:31 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <00c801c58bac$cbc94c10$0501a8c0@DELVAPBOS> (raw)
Hello,
Just looking for some opinions here. What is a good approach to
installing applications with a minimal amount of optional USE flags enabled?
For example, if one were to run `emerge -pv kde-base/kde` you would be
presented with many, many dependencies and USE flags. I would prefer to
install less upfront and add on later as needed. Doing an `emerge -pv
$packagename` then looking through the dependencies and their USE flags each
time, to me, doesn't seem like the best method. I took a look at the list
of USE flags at http://www.gentoo-portage.com/USE and disabling dozens of
them in /etc/make.conf doesn't seem like a great method either. I'm trying
to avoid a big, bloated system without going too crazy here. Any
suggestions?
