[gentoo-user] Package flag description

[Leandro Melo de Sales]

Hi,

  is there a place (URL) where can I find a description of a
particular package flag? For example, when I type:

# emerge -pv openldap
...
Calculating dependencies ...done!

[ebuild   R   ] net-nds/openldap-2.3.24-r1  +berkdb +crypt -debug
+gdbm -ipv6 -kerberos -minimal -odbc -overlays +perl +readline +samba
+sasl (-selinux) +slp +ssl +tcpd 0 kB

I'd like to know what the "minimal" flag include and its propose. I
know that I can control the flags in /etc/portage/package.use

Leandro.

Two URIs:
/usr/portage/profiles/use.local.desc
/usr/portage/profiles/use.desc

Usually I prefer profuse (app-portage/profuse) of ufed 
(app-portage/ufed).

Ciao

My advise would be: Install app-portage/gentoolkit (if you haven't already done so).
This package contains the program "euse". Here is its output:

# euse -i minimal
global use flags (searching: minimal)
************************************************************
[-    ] minimal - Install a very minimal build (disables, for example, plugins,
fonts, most drivers, non-critical features)

local use flags (searching: minimal)
************************************************************
no matching entries found

I find www.gentoo-portage.com to be a useful site for this stuff, too.
Just search for your package, select it, and the click on USE Flags to
get a description of the various flags.  Not all of them are documented,
but most are.

HTH,

Brad
