Subject: [gentoo-user] Collecting USE variables
Date: Thu, 13 Oct 2005 16:29:39 +0100 (WEST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.63.0510131559310.29013@weber.math.ist.utl.pt> (raw)

I would like to know how the current USE variables are set.
I know that "emerge --info" displays a list of all of them, but it doesn't
discriminate where they come from. I couldn't find clear documentation
about it, but of course I may have missed something. 
In the same line, I find /etc/make.profile/make.defaults _very strange_.
"perl"? Sure. "fortran"? Well, who knows... But "emboss"?!
(In case it doesn't ring a bell immediately: emboss - Adds support for
the European Molecular Biology Open Software Suite)
Could this be a joke?
I'm writing "-*" at the beginning of the USE declaration in
/etc/make.conf, but I can't avoid the feeling that this may be a Bad
Thing.
