Hello. Currently I am doing a from scratch installation of gentoo.
While setting up my USE flags I noticed, that some default USE flags in the
default environment (default/linux/amd64/10.0/desktop/kde) are neither
documented (in /usr/portage/profiles/use.desc) nor used in IUSE by any package
(amd64).
I am wondering if they are a leftover from older/outdated packages and could
be removed.
Here is the list of USE flags I identified at my system:
* Undocumented use flags:
----------
amd64
consolekit
declarative
gdu
kipi
mudflap
nptlonly
pango
phonon
pppd
qt3support
sysfs
xorg
* Unused and undocumented USE flags:
----------
amd64
mudflap
sysfs
For those who want to search on their system I attached two scripts:
* find_undocumented_uses.sh :
searches for use flags which are active but not documenten in
/usr/portage/profiles/use.desc.
* find_unused_uses.sh :
Checks for given USE flags if they are found in any ebuild's IUSE
statment
find_undocumented_uses.sh
