I want to use a global USE flag of -sasl in make.conf. However when I use it there it has no effect on emerges of things that it should effect:
I don't have actual output from the commands below because I'm in the throws of an install from scratch and have only ftp for remote access so far. cat /etc/make.conf CFLAGS="-Os -march=pentium4 -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}" USE="mysql tetex symlinks kde qt dvd alsa cdr -imap -maildir -sasl" GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/gentoo/ http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/gentoo/ ftp://ftp.ucsb.edu/pub/mirrors/linux/gentoo/" Used like this I still see a `+sasl' when I emerge -v -p sendmail. Using it on the emerge command line has the desired effect. That is, USE="-sasl" emerge -v -p sendmail shows `-sasl' as expected. Why doesn't it work with the entry in /etc/make.conf? -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
