It wouldn't help in this case, because Unison does not depend on Mozilla, nor does it use the mozilla USE flag. You can get the sort of information you need by reading the ebuild, USE flag settings normally alter configure options. Some way of getting this information in plain English would be nice, but that would require it to be added to every ebuild individually. --=20 Neil Bothwick Loose bits sink chips. --Signature_Fri__19_Aug_2005_00_57_17_+0100_.ieoFWVJS.v26yCc Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFDBSBgum4al0N1GQMRAgpOAJoCsATLOI27mL5whRIeQz4Oh3zA/wCbBaS6 74D3ginXBKBmv0XdUvCGEVE= =oVrE -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Signature_Fri__19_Aug_2005_00_57_17_+0100_.ieoFWVJS.v26yCc-- -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
