Can anybody please explain why and what the question mark means in the following (partial output);

Code:

gellert@jgklinux ~ $ equery d rust-bin
* These packages depend on rust-bin:
...
dev-python/cryptography-44.0.0 (dev-lang/rust-bin:1.84.0)
(dev-lang/rust-bin:1.83.0)
...
sys-devel/gcc-14.2.1_p20241221 (rust ? dev-lang/rust-bin:1.84.0)
(rust ? dev-lang/rust-bin:1.83.0)
...

This is on a virtual server. I have another machine, same Gentoo and with xserver gui but no rust. It took very long time to compile rust, so on the virtual server I chose the binary package. Apparently it needs rust, and my fitlet2 desktop box does not need rust. Just curious.

Thanks,

jankom (Janos)

If the useflag rust is set for package https://packages.gentoo.org/packages/sys-devel/gcc then it needs rust to build/install _________________ Forum Guidelines PFL - Portage file list - find which package a file or command belongs to. My delta-labs.org snippets do expire
