Subject: [gentoo-user]  Understanding emerge -v output: Why are some USE flags in brackets ()?
Date: Sun, 03 Sep 2006 15:27:51 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <96459383.vFnzYCVaON@m-id.message-center.info> (raw)

Hi!

I ran emerge -vp dvdrip and got:

[ebuild     U ] media-video/dvdrip-0.98.1 [0.97.10] USE="(-cdr%) fping%* (-gnome%*) hal%* (-minimal%) mplayer ogg (-rar%*) -subtitles -vcd% vorbis%* -xine% xvid" 0 kB

Why are some of those USE flags, like cdr or gnome, set in brackets, like
so: (-cdr%)?

Thanks,

Alexander Skwar
