| ACCEPT_CHOSTS = [space delimited
list of CHOST values] |
| |
Specifies acceptable CHOST
values. Regular expression syntax is supported, so it is
necessary to escape CHOST
characters if they have special meaning in regular
expressions.
Defaults to the value of $CHOST. |
| ACCEPT_KEYWORDS = [space
delimited list of KEYWORDS] |
| |
Enable testing of ebuilds that have not yet been deemed
’stable’. Users of the ’x86’
architecture would set this to ’~x86’ while ppc
users would set this to ’~ppc’. This is an
incremental variable. Only define a ~arch.
Defaults to the value of $ARCH. |
|
CBUILD |
This variable is passed by the
ebuild scripts to the configure as
--build=${CBUILD} only if it is defined. Do not set
this yourself unless you know what you are doing.
|
| CCACHE_DIR
= [path] |
| |
Defines the location of the ccache working directory.
See the ccache(1) man page for more information.
Defaults to /var/tmp/ccache |
| CCACHE_SIZE = "size" |
| |
This controls the space use limitations for ccache. The
default is 2 gigabytes (’2G’). Sizes are
specified with ’G’, ’M’, or
’K’. |
|
CFLAGS CXXFLAGS |
| |
Use these variables to set the desired optimization/CPU
instruction settings for applications that you compile.
Nearly all ebuild files will take advantage of your
custom settings, resulting in a Gentoo Linux that is
fully customized to your specifications. Please use sane
settings as some packages will fail to compile/run if the
optimizations are too extreme.
For more information, see the Invoking GCC
section of the gcc manual:
http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/
|
|
CHOST |
This variable is passed by the ebuild scripts to
the configure step as --host=${CHOST}. This
way you can force the build-host.
For more information:

|
| CLEAN_DELAY = integer |
| |
Determines how long the countdown delay will be after
running ‘emerge clean‘.
Defaults to 5 seconds. |
| COLLISION_IGNORE = [space
delimited list of files and/or directories] |
| |
This variable allows the user to disable
collision-protect and protect-owned for
specific files and/or directories.
Defaults to /lib/modules. |
| CONFIG_PROTECT = [space
delimited list of files and/or directories] |
| |
All files and/or directories that are defined here will
have "config file protection" enabled for them. See the
CONFIGURATION FILES section of emerge(1) for
more information. |
| CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK =
[space delimited list of files and/or
directories] |
| |
All files and/or directories that are defined here will
have "config file protection" disabled for them. See the
CONFIGURATION FILES section of emerge(1) for
more information. |
|
CTARGET |
| |
This variable is passed by the ebuild scripts to
the configure as --target=${CTARGET} only if
it is defined. |
| DISTDIR =
[path] |
| |
Defines the location of your local source file
repository. After packages are built, it is safe to
remove any and all files from this directory since they
will be automatically fetched on demand for a given
build. If you would like to selectively prune obsolete
files from this directory, see eclean(1) from the
gentoolkit package.
Use the PORTAGE_RO_DISTDIRS
variable to specify one or more read-only directories
containing distfiles.
Note that locations under /usr/portage are not
necessarily safe for data storage. See the PORTDIR documentation for more
information.
Defaults to /usr/portage/distfiles.
|
|
DOC_SYMLINKS_DIR |
| |
If this variable contains a directory then symlinks to
html documentation will be installed into it.
|
|
EBEEP_IGNORE |
| |
Defines whether or not to ignore audible beeps when
displaying important informational messages. This variable
is unset by default. |
|
EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS |
| |
Options to append to the end of the emerge(1)
command line on every invocation. These options will not be
appended to the command line if --ignore-default-opts is
specified. |
|
EMERGE_LOG_DIR |
| |
Controls the location of emerge.log and
emerge-fetch.log.
Defaults to /var/log. |
|
EPAUSE_IGNORE |
| |
Defines whether or not to ignore short pauses that
occur when displaying important informational messages.
This variable is unset by default. If it is set to any
value pauses are ignored. |
| EXTRA_ECONF = [configure options
string] |
| |
Contains additional options that econf will append to configure script
arguments (see ebuild(5)). |
| FEATURES =
"sandbox ccache" |
| |
Defines actions portage takes by default. This is an
incremental variable. Most of these settings are for
developer use, but some are available to non-developers
as well. The sandbox feature
is very important and should not be disabled by default.
|
|
|
assume-digests |
| |
When commiting work to cvs with
repoman(1), assume that all existing SRC_URI
digests are correct. This feature also affects digest
generation via ebuild(1) and emerge(1)
(emerge generates digests only when the digest
feature is enabled). Existing digests for files that
do not exist in ${DISTDIR} will be automatically
assumed even when assume-digests is not
enabled. If a file exists in ${DISTDIR} but
it’s size does not match the existing digest,
the digest will be regenerated regardless of whether
or not assume-digests is enabled. The
ebuild(1) digest
command has a --force
option that can be used to force regeneration of
digests. |
|
buildpkg |
| |
Binary packages will be created for all packages
that are merged. Also see quickpkg(1) and
emerge(1) --buildpkg and --buildpkgonly options.
|
|
buildsyspkg |
| |
Build binary packages for just packages in the
system set. |
|
ccache |
Enable portage support for the
ccache package. If the ccache dir is not present in
the user’s environment, then portage will
default to ${PORTAGE_TMPDIR}/ccache.
|
|
collision-protect |
| |
A QA-feature to ensure that a package
doesn’t overwrite files it doesn’t own.
The COLLISION_IGNORE variable can be used to
selectively disable this feature. Also see the
related protect-owned feature.
|
|
digest |
Autogenerate digests for packages
when running the emerge(1) command. If the
assume-digests feature is also enabled then
existing SRC_URI digests will be reused whenever they
are available. |
|
distcc |
Enable portage support for the
distcc package. |
|
distlocks |
| |
Portage uses lockfiles to ensure competing
instances don’t clobber each other’s
files. This feature is enabled by default but may
cause heartache on less intelligent remote
filesystems like NFSv2 and some strangely configured
Samba server (oplocks off, NFS re-export). A tool
/usr/lib/portage/bin/clean_locks exists to help
handle lock issues when a problem arises (normally
due to a crash or disconnect). |
|
fakeroot |
| |
Enable fakeroot for the install and package
phases when a non-root user runs the ebuild(1)
command. |
|
fixpackages |
| |
Runs the script that will fix the dependencies in
all binary packages. This is run whenever packages
are moved around in the portage tree. Please note
that this can take a lot of time. |
|
getbinpkg |
| |
Force emerges to always try to fetch files from
the PORTAGE_BINHOST. See make.conf(5)
for more information. |
|
installsources |
| |
Install source code into
/usr/src/debug/${CATEGORY}/${PF} (also see
splitdebug). This
feature works only if debugedit is installed and
CFLAGS is set to include debug information (such as
with the -ggdb flag). |
|
keeptemp |
| |
Do not delete the ${T} directory after the merge
process. |
|
keepwork |
| |
Do not delete the ${WORKDIR} directory after the
merge process. ${WORKDIR} can then be reused since
this feature disables most of the clean phase that
runs prior to each build. Due to lack of proper
cleanup, this feature can interfere with normal
emerge operation and therefore it should not be left
enabled for more than a short period of time.
|
|
lmirror |
| |
When mirror is enabled in FEATURES, fetch files even when
mirror is also in the ebuild(5)
RESTRICT variable. Do
NOT use lmirror for
clients that need to override RESTRICT when fetching from a
local mirror, but instead use a "local" mirror
setting in /etc/portage/mirrors, as described
in portage(5). |
|
metadata-transfer |
| |
Automatically perform a metadata transfer when
‘emerge --sync‘ is run. In versions of
portage >=2.1.5, this feature is disabled by
default. When metadata-transfer is disabled, metadata
cache from the ${PORTDIR}/metadata/cache/ directory
will be used directly (if available) and eclasses in
${PORTDIR}/eclass/ must not be modified except by
‘emerge --sync‘ operations since the
cache validation mechanism will not recognize eclass
modifications. Normally, this issue only pertains to
users of the rsync tree since the cvs tree does not
contain a metadata/cache/ directory. Users of the
rsync tree who want to modify eclasses should use
PORTDIR_OVERLAY
in order for the cache validation mechanism to work
correctly. |
|
mirror |
Fetch everything in SRC_URI regardless of USE settings, except do not fetch
anything when mirror is in RESTRICT. |
|
multilib-strict |
| |
Many Makefiles assume that their libraries should
go to /usr/lib, or $(prefix)/lib. This assumption can
cause a serious mess if /usr/lib isn’t a
symlink to /usr/lib64. To find the bad packages, we
have a portage feature called multilib-strict.
It will prevent emerge from putting 64bit libraries
into anything other than (/usr)/lib64.
|
|
noauto |
When utilizing ebuild(1),
only run the function requested. |
|
noclean |
| |
Do not delete the the source and temporary files
after the merge process. |
|
nodoc |
Do not install doc files
(/usr/share/doc). |
|
noinfo |
Do not install info pages.
|
|
noman |
Do not install manpages.
|
|
nostrip |
| |
Prevents the stripping of binaries that are
merged to the live filesystem. |
|
notitles |
| |
Disables xterm titlebar updates (which contains
status info). |
|
parallel-fetch |
| |
Fetch in the background while compiling. Run
‘tail -f /var/log/emerge-fetch.log‘ in a
terminal to view parallel-fetch progress.
|
|
parse-eapi-ebuild-head |
| |
Parse EAPI from the
head of the ebuild (first 30 lines). This feature is
only intended for experimental purposes and should
not be enabled under normal circumstances.
|
|
parse-eapi-glep-55 |
| |
Parse EAPI from the
file extension of the ebuild. This feature is only
intended for experimental purposes and should not be
enabled under normal circumstances. |
|
preserve-libs |
| |
Preserve libraries when the sonames change during
upgrade or downgrade. Libraries are preserved only if
consumers of those libraries are detected.
|
|
protect-owned |
| |
This is identical to the collision-protect
feature except that files may be overwritten if they
are not explicitly listed in the contents of a
currently installed package. This is particularly
useful on systems that have lots of orphan files that
have been left behind by older versions of portage
that did not support the unmerge-orphans
feature. Like collision-protect, the
COLLISION_IGNORE variable can be used to
selectively disable this feature. It is recommended
to leave either protect-owned or
collision-protect enabled at all times, since
otherwise file collisions between packages may result
in files being overwritten or uninstalled at
inappropriate times. If collision-protect is
enabled then it takes precedence over
protect-owned. |
|
python-trace |
| |
Output a verbose trace of python execution to
stderr when a command’s --debug option is
enabled. |
|
sandbox |
| |
Enable sandbox-ing when running emerge(1)
and ebuild(1). |
|
sesandbox |
| |
Enable SELinux sandbox-ing. Do not toggle this
FEATURE yourself.
|
|
severe |
When checking Manifests, only
accept ones that have been signed by a key which you
trust. |
|
sfperms |
| |
Stands for Smart Filesystem Permissions. Before
merging packages to the live filesystem,
automatically search for and set permissions on
setuid and setgid files. Files that are setuid have
the group and other read bits removed while files
that are setgid have the other read bit removed. See
also suidctl below. |
|
sign |
When commiting work to cvs with
repoman(1), sign the Manifest with a GPG key.
Read about the PORTAGE_GPG_KEY variable in
make.conf(5). |
|
skiprocheck |
| |
Skip write access checks on DISTDIR when fetching files. This
is useful when FETCHCOMMAND and RESUMECOMMAND are used to
forward fetch requests to a server that exposes
DISTDIR as a read-only
NFS share. A read-only DISTDIR is not compatible with the
distlocks, so it is recommended to also add
"-distlocks" to FEATURES in order to avoid warning
messages that are triggered by this incompatibility.
|
|
splitdebug |
| |
Prior to stripping ELF etdyn and etexec files,
the debugging info is stored for later use by various
debuggers. This feature is disabled by nostrip. For installation of source
code, see installsources.
|
|
strict |
Have portage react strongly to
conditions that have the potential to be dangerous
(like missing or incorrect digests for ebuilds).
|
|
stricter |
| |
Have portage react strongly to conditions that
may conflict with system security provisions (for
example textrels, executable stack). Read about the
QA_STRICT_* variables in make.conf(5).
|
|
suidctl |
| |
Before merging packages to the live filesystem,
automatically strip setuid bits from any file that is
not listed in /etc/portage/suidctl.conf.
|
|
test |
Run package-specific tests during
each merge to help make sure the package compiled
properly. See test in ebuild(1) and
src_test() in ebuild(5). This feature
implies the "test" USE flag.
|
|
test-fail-continue |
| |
If "test" is enabled FEATURES and the test phase of an
ebuild fails, continue to execute the remaining
phases as if the failure had not occurred. Note that
the test phase for a specific package may be disabled
by masking the "test" USE
flag in package.use.mask (see
portage(5)). |
|
unmerge-logs |
| |
Keep logs from successful unmerge phases. This is
relevant only when PORT_LOGDIR is set.
|
|
unmerge-orphans |
| |
If a file is not claimed by another package in
the same slot and it is not protected by
CONFIG_PROTECT, unmerge it even if the
modification time or checksum differs from the file
that was originally installed. |
|
userfetch |
| |
When portage is run as root, drop privileges to
portage:portage during the fetching of package
sources. |
|
userpriv |
| |
Allow portage to drop root privileges and compile
packages as portage:portage without a sandbox (unless
usersandbox is also used). |
|
usersandbox |
| |
Enable the sandbox in the compile phase, when
running without root privs (userpriv).
|
|
usersync |
| |
Drop privileges to the owner of PORTDIR for emerge(1) --sync
operations. |
|
webrsync-gpg |
| |
Enable GPG verification when using
emerge-webrsync. |
|
|
|
FETCHCOMMAND |
| |
This variable contains the command used for fetching
package sources from the internet. It must contain the full
path to the executable as well as the place-holders
\${DISTDIR}, \${FILE} and \${URI}. The command should be
written to place the fetched file at \${DISTDIR}/\${FILE}.
Also see RESUMECOMMAND.
|
| GENTOO_MIRRORS =
[URLs] |
| |
Insert your space-seperated list of local mirrors here.
These locations are used to download files before the ones
listed in the ebuild scripts. Merging
’mirrorselect’ can help. Entries in this
variable that have no protocol and simply start with a
’/’ path separator may be used to specify
mounted filesystem mirrors. |
| http_proxy ftp_proxy =
[protocol://host:port] |
| |
These vars are used if the sources must be downloaded
from the internet by wget(1). They are only required
if you use a proxy server for internet access.
|
| INSTALL_MASK = [space delimited
list of file names] |
| |
Use this variable if you want to selectively prevent
certain files from being copied into your file system tree.
This does not work on symlinks, but only on actual files.
Useful if you wish to filter out files like HACKING.gz and
TODO.gz. The INSTALL_MASK
is processed just before a package is merged. Also
supported is a PKG_INSTALL_MASK variable that
behaves exactly like INSTALL_MASK except that it is
processed just before creation of a binary package.
|
|
MAKEOPTS |
| |
Use this variable if you want to use parallel make. For
example, if you have a dual-processor system, set this
variable to "-j2" or "-j3" for enhanced build performance
with many packages. Suggested settings are between
CPUs+1 and 2*CPUs+1. In order to avoid excess
load, the --load-average option is
recommended. For more information, see make(1). Also
see emerge(1) for information about analogous
--jobs and --load-average options.
|
| NOCOLOR =
["true" | "false"] |
| |
Defines if color should be disabled by default.
Defaults to false. |
| PKGDIR =
[path] |
| |
Defines the location where created .tbz2 binary
packages will be stored when the emerge(1)
--buildpkg option is
enabled. By default, a given package is stored in a
subdirectory corresponding to it’s category. However,
for backward compatibility with the layout used by older
versions of portage, if the ${PKGDIR}/All directory
exists then all packages will be stored inside of it and
symlinks to the packages will be created in the category
subdirectories. Note that locations under /usr/portage are
not necessarily safe for data storage. See the PORTDIR documentation for more
information.
Defaults to /usr/portage/packages. |
|
PORT_LOGDIR |
| |
This variable defines the directory in which per-ebuild
logs are kept. Logs are created only when this is set. They
are stored as ${CATEGORY}:${PF}:YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS.log in the
directory specified. If the direcory does not exist, it
will be created automatically and group permissions will be
applied to it. If the directory already exists, portage
will not modify it’s permissions. |
| PORTAGE_BINHOST = "pass@grp.mirror.site/pub/grp/i686/athlon-xp/">ftp://login:pass@grp.mirror.site/pub/grp/i686/athlon-xp/" |
| |
This is the host from which portage will grab
prebuilt-binary packages. The list is a single entry
specifying the full address of the directory serving the
tbz2’s for your system. This is only used when
running with the get binary pkg options are given to
emerge. Review emerge(1)
for more information. For versions of portage less that
2.1.6, this variable should point to the ’All’
directory on the host that creates the binary packages and
not to the root of the PKGDIR.
Starting with portage 2.1.6, it should point to a directory
containing a ’Packages’ index file. If
${PORTAGE_BINHOST}/Packages does not exist then portage
will attempt to use the older protocol. |
| PORTAGE_BINHOST_HEADER_URI
= "pass@grp.mirror.site/pub/grp/i686/athlon-xp/">ftp://login:pass@grp.mirror.site/pub/grp/i686/athlon-xp/" |
| |
This variable only makes sense on a system that will
serve as a binhost and build packages for clients. It
defines the URI header field for the package index file
which is located at ${PKGDIR}/Packages. Clients that have
PORTAGE_BINHOST
properly configured will be able to fetch the index and use
the URI header field as a base URI for fetching binary
packages. If the URI header field is not defined then the
client will use it’s ${PORTAGE_BINHOST} setting as
the base URI. |
|
PORTAGE_BINPKG_TAR_OPTS |
| |
This variable contains options to be passed to the tar
command for creation of binary packages. |
| PORTAGE_COMPRESS =
"bzip2" |
| |
This variable contains the command used to compress
documentation during the install phase. |
| PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS =
"-9" |
| |
This variable contains flags for the PORTAGE_COMPRESS command.
|
|
| PORTAGE_COMPRESS_EXCLUDE_SUFFIXES
= "gif htm[l]? jp[e]?g pdf png" |
| |
This variable contains a space delimited list of file
suffixes for which matching files are excluded when the
PORTAGE_COMPRESS
command is called. Regular expressions are supported and
the match is performed only against the portion of the file
name which follows the last period character.
|
PORTAGE_ELOG_CLASSES
PORTAGE_ELOG_SYSTEM
PORTAGE_ELOG_COMMAND
PORTAGE_ELOG_MAILURI
PORTAGE_ELOG_MAILFROM
PORTAGE_ELOG_MAILSUBJECT |
| |
Please see /usr/share/portage/config/make.conf.example
for elog documentation. |
| PORTAGE_FETCH_CHECKSUM_TRY_MIRRORS
= 5 |
| |
Number of mirrors to try when a downloaded file has an
incorrect checksum. |
| PORTAGE_FETCH_RESUME_MIN_SIZE
= 350K |
| |
Minimum size of existing file for RESUMECOMMAND to be called. Files
smaller than this size will be removed and FETCHCOMMAND will be called to
download the file from the beginning. This is useful for
helping to ensure that small garbage files such as html 404
pages are properly discarded. The variable should contain
an integer number of bytes and may have a suffix such as K,
M, or G. |
|
PORTAGE_GPG_DIR |
| |
The gpg(1) home directory that is used by
repoman(1) when sign is in
FEATURES.
Defaults to $HOME/.gnupg. |
|
PORTAGE_GPG_KEY |
| |
The gpg(1) key used by repoman(1) to sign
manifests when sign is in
FEATURES. |
| PORTAGE_IONICE_COMMAND =
[ionice command string] |
| |
This variable should contain a command for portage to
call in order to adjust the io priority of portage and
it’s subprocesses. The command string should contain
a \${PID} place-holder that will be substituted with an
integer pid. For example, a value of "ionice -c 3 -p
\${PID}" will set idle io priority. For more information
about ionice, see ionice(1). This variable is unset
by default. |
| PORTAGE_NICENESS =
[number] |
| |
The value of this variable will be added to the current
nice level that emerge is running at. In other words, this
will not set the nice level, it will increment it. For more
information about nice levels and what are acceptable
ranges, see nice(1). |
| PORTAGE_RO_DISTDIRS =
[space delimited list of directories] |
| |
When a given file does not exist in DISTDIR, search for the file in this list
of directories. Search order is from left to right. Note
that the current implementation works by creating a symlink
inside DISTDIR, but that may
change in the future. |
| PORTAGE_RSYNC_INITIAL_TIMEOUT
= integer |
| |
Used by emerge --sync as a timeout for the
initial connection to an rsync server.
Defaults to 15 seconds. |
| PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS
= [rsync options string] |
| |
Additional rsync options to be used by emerge
--sync.
Defaults to no value. |
| PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS = [rsync
options string] |
| |
Default rsync options to be used by emerge
--sync.
Don’t change this unless you know exactly what
you’re doing!
Defaults to "--recursive --links --safe-links --perms
--times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --stats
--timeout=180 --exclude=’/distfiles’
--exclude=’/local’
--exclude=’/packages’" |
| PORTAGE_RSYNC_RETRIES =
[NUMBER] |
| |
The number of times rsync should retry on failed
connections before giving up.
Defaults to 3. |
| PORTAGE_TMPDIR =
[path] |
| |
Defines the location of the temporary build
directories.
Defaults to /var/tmp. |
| PORTAGE_WORKDIR_MODE =
"0700" |
| |
This variable controls permissions for WORKDIR
(see ebuild(5)). |
| PORTDIR =
[path] |
| |
Defines the location of the Portage tree. This is the
repository for all profile information as well as all
ebuilds. If you change this, you must update your
/etc/make.profile symlink accordingly.
Defaults to /usr/portage.
***Warning***
Data stored inside PORTDIR is
in peril of being overwritten or deleted by the emerge
--sync command. The default value of PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS will
protect the default locations of DISTDIR and PKGDIR, but users are warned that any
other locations inside PORTDIR
are not necessarily safe for data storage. You should not
put other data (such as overlays) in your PORTDIR. Portage will walk directory
structures and may arbitrary add invalid categories as
packages. |
| PORTDIR_OVERLAY = "[path]
[different-path] [etc...]" |
| |
Defines the directories in which user made ebuilds may
be stored and not overwriten when ‘emerge
--sync‘ is run. This is a space delimited list of
directories.
Defaults to no value. |
| QA_STRICT_EXECSTACK =
"set" |
| |
Set this to cause portage to ignore any
QA_EXECSTACK override settings from ebuilds. See
also ebuild(5). |
| QA_STRICT_WX_LOAD =
"set" |
| |
Set this to cause portage to ignore any
QA_WX_LOAD override settings from ebuilds. See also
ebuild(5). |
| QA_STRICT_TEXTRELS =
"set" |
| |
Set this to cause portage to ignore any
QA_TEXTREL override settings from ebuilds. See also
ebuild(5). |
| QA_STRICT_DT_HASH =
"set" |
| |
Set this to cause portage to ignore any
QA_DT_HASH override settings from ebuilds. See also
ebuild(5). |
| QA_STRICT_PRESTRIPPED =
"set" |
| |
Set this to cause portage to ignore any
QA_PRESTRIPPED override settings from ebuilds. See
also ebuild(5). |
|
RESUMECOMMAND |
| |
This variable contains the command used for resuming
package sources that have been partially downloaded. It
should be defined using the same format as FETCHCOMMAND, and must include any
additional option(s) that may be necessary in order to
continue a partially downloaded file located at
\${DISTDIR}/\${FILE}. |
| ROOT =
[path] |
| |
Use ROOT to specify the
target root filesystem to be used for merging packages or
ebuilds. All RDEPEND and
PDEPEND will be installed into
ROOT while all DEPEND will be still be installed into /.
Typically, you should set this setting in the environment
rather than in /etc/make.conf itself. It’s
commonly used for creating new build images. Make sure you
use an absolute path.
Defaults to /. |
| RPMDIR =
[path] |
| |
Defines the location where created RPM packages will be
stored.
Defaults to ${PORTDIR}/rpm. |
| SYNC =
[RSYNC] |
| |
Insert your preferred rsync mirror here. This rsync
server is used to sync the local portage tree when
‘emerge --sync‘ is run.
Defaults to rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage
|
| USE = [space
delimited list of USE items] |
| |
This variable contains options that control the build
behavior of several packages. More information in
ebuild(5). Possible USE values can be found in
/usr/portage/profiles/use.desc. |
| USE_EXPAND
= [space delimited list of variable names] |
| |
Any variable listed here will be used to augment USE by
inserting a new flag for every value in that variable, so
USE_EXPAND="FOO" and FOO="bar bla" results in USE="foo_bar
foo_bla". |
| USE_EXPAND_HIDDEN = [space
delimited list of variable names] |
| |
Names of USE_EXPAND
variables that should not be shown in the verbose merge
list output of the emerge(1) command.
|
| USE_ORDER =
"env:pkg:conf:defaults:pkginternal:env.d" |
| |
Determines the precedence of layers in the incremental
stacking of the USE variable. Precedence decreases from
left to right such that env overrides pkg, pkg overrides
conf, and so forth.
***warning***
Do not modify this value unless you’re a developer
and you know what you’re doing. If you change this
and something breaks, we will not help you fix it.
