Can you help decipher the following please: Using the first application that shows up as an example: [ebuild R ] sys-apps/diffutils-2.8.7-r1 USE="nls -static (-debug%)" 1,037 kB What does (-debug%) mean? Here is the equery output: [ Found these USE variables for sys-apps/diffutils-2.8.7-r1 ] U I - - debug : Tells configure and the makefiles to build for debugging. Effects vary across packages, but generally it will at least add -g to CFLAGS. Remember to set FEATURES=nostrip too + + nls : Adds Native Language Support (using gettext - GNU locale utilities) - - static : !!do not set this during bootstrap!! Causes binaries to be statically linked instead of dynamically Ideas? Is it because the -debug variable has been removed from somewhere?
