Subject: [gentoo-user]  USE flags confusing on emerge gimp
Date: Fri, 04 Sep 2009 09:25:59 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <874orirdl4.fsf@newsguy.com> (raw)

After some resent discussion here of USE in thread:
   Subject: How to play quicktime (*.mov) videos with firefox

I'm a little confused by what I see when investigating the emerge of
gimp (wrapped for mail).

  Calculating dependencies... done!
  [ebuild  N    ] media-libs/babl-0.0.22  USE="-mmx -sse" 388 kB

  [ebuild  N    ] media-libs/gegl-0.0.22  USE="svg -cairo -debug -doc
   -ffmpeg -jpeg -mmx -openexr -png
   -raw -sdl -sse -v4l" 1,226 kB

  [ebuild N ] media-gfx/gimp-2.6.6 USE="alsa python svg -aalib
   (-altivec) -curl -dbus -debug -doc -exif -gnome -hal -jpeg -lcms -mmx
   -mng -pdf -png -smp -sse -tiff -webkit -wmf" 15,700 kB

Would anyone want things like -jpeg, -pdf, -png, -tiff, -exif - turned
off in an image (or photo) processing program?

What does it mean that those flags are turned off?
Should I turn them on before emerging?
