Posted: Tue Apr 06, 2004 12:32 am Post subject: organized / sorted USE flags |
|
|
EDIT: I plan on cleaning this up sometime and summarizing at the top for everyone. There is also a great script that Narada wrote to list USE flag info for your system, I'll write about it at some point too.
Hi. I am installing Gentoo for the first time. I found it a nightmare going through all the different USE flags, trying to determine which ones to set / unset / leave alone for my system. Sure, some of them are obvious, but many are not and require googling.
So, while waiting for bootstrapping to complete, I've organized the USE flags into many different sections. It helps me a lot to think of them like this.
I rearranged them and grouped them under new headings. I'm sure that some of the time, they are not organized properly, so I need your help with that (I will edit this post if you like -- let me know what's best). I also think that it might be handy to have a couple of fields next to the use flag name, such that you can sort on the 1st, 2nd, 3rd field easily at the command line.
If anyone thinks it's worth submitting to the official doc maintainers, I'd be more than happy; just tell me if so and where :)

Well....
if you forget a flag and emerge keeps giving you errors after you add it in, you can always do a emerge -e -D world....
...*expletive deleted*
Yeah. Good job. This would make gen2'ers lives a whole hell of alot nicer.
Definately should be submitted to the documentators.
Better yet, if they could somehow make include that as part of the default makefile (commented out of course), it would make system customization a snap |

So, who do I contact?
I've since discovered the whole NPTL thing (an undocumented USE flag), and just from the output of
# emerge --pretend --verbose system
there's a few other undocumented flags:
undocumented:
chroot ???
justify ???
nptl Add support for the Native Posix Thread Library
pwdb ???
skey ???
ucs2 ???
threads ???
X509 ???
Anybody wanna help fill in the ???'s? |

I filled them in. Try emerging ufed (the USE flags editor) & you can see all the description & have a convenient way to flip things on or off. |

You can also look at /usr/portage/profiles/use.desc or "euse -i [flag]" |

Thanks for pointing that out (I missed it in make.conf). I'll send a message to gentoo-dev, see what they say about if it's a good idea, where the best place to make the change would be, and if ufed could be changed to have use flag categories. Cheers! |

After some more experience installing ... I've come to think that the best way to deal with USE flags is to set them incrementally, when you need them, as determined by 'emerge -a' or 'emerge -p'. I think a lot of newbies probably obsess over whether they've got every single flag set properly, and whether they've looked at each flag (certainly I've seen a few other posts about it); it would be helpful if the install guide said something along the lines of "just worry about those USE flags affecting the packages you want to install NOW". Of course, categorization could still be useful, but I thought I would mention this in case any newcomers are reading this post. |

You can also look in /usr/portage/profiles/use.local.desc to see the flags that you are calling "undocumented". Gentoo has both global use flags and also local use flags. Local flags are ones that only affect a single package and are not deemed usable in other packages. _________________ Ex-Gentoo Developer

Very useful! Just setup a new gentoo install on a laptop and I got my use flags setup much better than I did when I setup this machine. |

after a few gentoo installations, and after installing and compiling tons of things i never really needed/wanted i came up with this:
i start with
USE="-* x86"
and then, as chris.pickett pointed out, add more USE flags as i emerge stuff.
like this i can allways focus on what i'm installing right now.
the -* turns off all previously set flags, even the default ones.
cheers |

euse should be put in the install docs somewhere.
Just this morning I set up a tcsh alias 'alias ugrep "grep \!* /usr/portage/profiles/use.desc"' to accomplish this very same thing... heh. |

Well chris.pickett, I found your post very informative.
I'm one of the relative n00bs that is overwhelmed by use flags. And while there is a description associated with each, they do often require a bit of googling to figure out what they mean:
"atlas - adds support for atlas instead of blas in dev-lang/R"
That tells me nothing. It took a Google search to figure out just what atlas and blas were.
FWIW, I think Gentoo could use a bit more documentation by way of USE flags. Yes, we all get that they are powerful, but one has to do a bit of homework (Google, read the forums) before they one really gets a sense of how best to use them.
Anywho, thanks for the reference! |

There's a nice trick for keeping your USE variable down in size and keeping things sorted: a lot of USE flags are only used by a few packages. Instead of adding them to the global USE flag, instead put them in /etc/portage/package.use. For example, the GAPING_SECURITY_HOLE flag is only used by one package (netcat), and even if it wasn't, that's the kind of thing you'd probably want to set on a package by package basis anyhow. Instead of adding it to your global USE flag, instead add the line:
net-analyzer/netcat GAPING_SECURITY_HOLE
to /etc/portage/package.use and keep the global flag clean.
(Incidently, the so called "gaping security hole" in netcat is mostly harmless and sometimes useful. I agree with the Debian packager that thinks this should be the default.) |

Same with me; that's why I started work on USE Flags explained in the Gentoo Wiki. As a first step, I want to add a link to every USE flag that points to some page relevant to the flag in question.
Since I am pretty busy at all times, and without my home system ATM (installing Gentoo... ), I would very much welcome even the most minute help.
@ chris.picket:
I would strongly suggest moving your excellent list to the Gentoo Wiki, too. From my experience, a Wiki is just the thing for user-contributed documentation like yours. I think the USE flag documentation requires significant improvement, and in the Wiki, every user can add a link or an explanation (instead of you having to edit your initial post every time).
I invite you to categorize the lines of the aforementioned Wiki page to fit your grouping (actually, anyone interested could do that), and we could continue from there.
Does that sound like a plan? |

Nice list Yesterday I compared the USE flags in my make.default to the flags explained in the handbook and noticed that there were a few flags that weren't documented too:
bitmap-fonts
f77
font-server
fortran
truetype-fonts
type1-fonts
How about highlighting the USE flags in your list that are turned on by default in make.default? |

If you refer to the Wiki list, just go for it and add / edit what you consider appropriate. That's what a Wiki is for!
As for me, I didn't find much time to continue with that list, as I'm working on several other projects that have priority right now, so your help will be much appreciated. |

"oggvorbis - Adds support for the OggVorbis audio encoding - DEPRECATED useflag"
"vorbis - Adds support for the OggVorbis audio codec"
From my use.desc
Great post
Been very helpful in getting my settings for make the way I want them.
I have an Athlon64, I keep seeing people posting with sse and 3Dnow and such in their USE flags. Aren't those covered by 'march=~k8'?
From the Gentoo AMD64 documentation;
"3.j. USE Flags That Are Ignored
The mmx, 3dnow, sse and sse2 USE flags are ignored on AMD64, since all AMD64 processors support those instruction sets. The are ignored because they enable 32bit assembly optimisation for some packages."
Are people just not aware of this or is the documentation wrong? |

Hmm...
emerge --info | grep FEATURES
showed also 3dnowext and mmxext... I don't know if they're valid USE flags, but CPUID lists my Athlon XP 2700+ as having:
AMD 3DNow!
AMD 3DNow! Professional
AMD Enhanced 3DNow!
AMD Extended MMX
I assume 3dnow includes the top two, 3dnowext is AMD Enhanced 3DNow!, and mmxext is AMD Extended MMX. From doing "emerge --verbose" on stuff, I haven't seen either 3dnowext or mxxext listed, but they're in my make.conf anyway. |
