Hi All,
I happened to notice that Firefox is having more and more USE flags for using
system-side rather than bundled in libraries:
[ebuild U ] www-client/firefox-38.3.0::gentoo [38.2.1::gentoo] USE="dbus
gmp-autoupdate jemalloc3 jit minimal -bindist -custom-cflags -custom-
optimization -debug -egl -gstreamer -gstreamer-0 -hardened (-neon) (-pgo) -
pulseaudio (-selinux) -startup-notification -system-cairo -system-icu -system-
jpeg -system-libvpx -system-sqlite {-test} -wifi"
However, such libraries are not enabled by default and FF will be downloading
177,578 KiB of sources. A couple of questions:
- Will FF be downloading less if the system side USE flags are enabled?
- What are the benefits or disbenefits of enabling them?

Regards,
Mick
