8 # Build-time functionality
9 # ========================
11 # The USE variable is used to enable optional build-time functionality. For
12 # example, quite a few packages have optional X, gtk or GNOME functionality
13 # that can only be enabled or disabled at compile-time. Gentoo Linux has a
14 # very extensive set of USE variables described in our USE variable HOWTO at
15 # http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=2&chap=1
17 # The available list of use flags with descriptions is in your portage tree.
18 # Use 'less' to view them: --> less /usr/portage/profiles/use.desc <--
20 # 'ufed' is an ncurses/dialog interface available in portage to make handling
21 # useflags for you. 'emerge app-portage/ufed'
24 #USE="X gtk gnome -alsa"
29 # DO NOT CHANGE THIS SETTING UNLESS YOU ARE USING STAGE1!
30 # Change this line as appropriate (i686, i586, i486 or i386).
31 # All modern systems (even Athlons) should use "i686-pc-linux-gnu".

35 # Host and optimization settings
36 # ==============================
38 # For optimal performance, enable a CFLAGS setting appropriate for your CPU.
40 # Please note that if you experience strange issues with a package, it may be
41 # due to gcc's optimizations interacting in a strange way. Please test the
42 # package (and in some cases the libraries it uses) at default optimizations
43 # before reporting errors to developers.
45 # -mcpu=<cpu-type> means optimize code for the particular type of CPU without
46 # breaking compatibility with other CPUs.
48 # -march=<cpu-type> means to take full advantage of the ABI and instructions
49 # for the particular CPU; this will break compatibility with older CPUs (for
50 # example, -march=athlon-xp code will not run on a regular Athlon, and
51 # -march=i686 code will not run on a Pentium Classic.
53 # CPU types supported in gcc-3.2 and higher: athlon-xp, athlon-mp,
54 # athlon-tbird, athlon, k6, k6-2, k6-3, i386, i486, i586 (Pentium), i686
55 # (PentiumPro), pentium, pentium-mmx, pentiumpro, pentium2 (Celeron),
56 # pentium3, and pentium4.
58 # Note that Gentoo Linux 1.4 and higher include at least gcc-3.2.
60 # CPU types supported in gcc-2.95*: k6, i386, i486, i586 (Pentium), i686
61 # (Pentium Pro), pentium, pentiumpro Gentoo Linux 1.2 and below use gcc-2.95*
63 # CRITICAL WARNINGS: ****************************************************** #
64 # K6 markings are deceptive. Avoid setting -march for them. See Bug #24379. #
65 # Pentium-M CPU's should not enable sse2 until at least gcc-3.4. Bug 50616. #

80 # Gentoo is using a new masking system to allow for easier stability testing
81 # on packages. KEYWORDS are used in ebuilds to mask and unmask packages based
82 # on the platform they are set for. A special form has been added that
83 # indicates packages and revisions that are expected to work, but have not yet
84 # been approved for the stable set. '~arch' is a superset of 'arch' which
85 # includes the unstable, in testing, packages. Users of the 'x86' architecture
86 # would add '~x86' to ACCEPT_KEYWORDS to enable unstable/testing packages.
87 # '~ppc', '~sparc' are the unstable KEYWORDS for their respective platforms.
89 # Please note that this is not for development, alpha, beta, nor cvs release
90 # packages. "Broken" packages will not be added to testing and should not be
91 # requested to be added. Alternative routes are available to developers
92 # for experimental packages, and it is at their discretion to use them.
94 # DO NOT PUT ANYTHING BUT YOUR SPECIFIC ~ARCHITECTURE IN THE LIST.
95 # IF YOU ARE UNSURE OF YOUR ARCH, OR THE IMPLICATIONS, DO NOT MODIFY THIS.

116 # DISTDIR is where all of the source code tarballs will be placed for
117 # emerges. The source code is maintained here unless you delete

167 # the list so that portage will fall back to it if the files cannot be found
168 # on your specified mirror. We _HIGHLY_ recommend that you change this setting
169 # to a nearby mirror by merging and using the 'mirrorselect' tool.
170 #GENTOO_MIRRORS="<your_mirror_here> http://distfiles.gentoo.org http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo"
172 # Portage uses PORTAGE_BINHOST to specify mirrors for prebuilt-binary packages.
173 # The list is a single entry specifying the full address of the directory
174 # serving the tbz2's for your system. Running emerge with either '--getbinpkg'
175 # or '--getbinpkgonly' will cause portage to retrieve the metadata from all
176 # packages in the directory specified, and use that data to determine what will
177 # be downloaded and merged. '-g' or '-gK' are the recommend parameters. Please
178 # consult the man pages and 'emerge --help' for more information. For FTP, the
179 # default connection is passive -- If you require an active connection, affix
180 # an asterisk (*) to the end of the host:port string before the path.

187 # Synchronizing Portage
188 # =====================
190 # Each of these settings affects how Gentoo synchronizes your Portage tree.
191 # Synchronization is handled by rsync and these settings allow some control
192 # over how it is done.
195 # SYNC is the server used by rsync to retrieve a localized rsync mirror
196 # rotation. This allows you to select servers that are geographically
197 # close to you, yet still distribute the load over a number of servers.
198 # Please do not single out specific rsync mirrors. Doing so places undue
199 # stress on particular mirrors. Instead you may use one of the following
200 # continent specific rotations:
202 # Default: "rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage"
203 # North America: "rsync://rsync.namerica.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage"
204 # South America: "rsync://rsync.samerica.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage"
205 # Europe: "rsync://rsync.europe.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage"
206 # Asia: "rsync://rsync.asia.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage"
207 # Australia: "rsync://rsync.au.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage"
208 #SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage"
210 # RSYNC_RETRIES sets the number of times portage will attempt to retrieve
211 # a current portage tree before it exits with an error. This allows
212 # for a more successful retrieval without user intervention most times.
215 # RSYNC_TIMEOUT sets the length of time rsync will wait before it times out
216 # on a connection. Most users will benefit from this setting as it will
217 # reduce the amount of 'dead air' they experience when they run across
218 # the occasional, unreachable mirror. Dialup users might want to set this
219 # value up around the 300 second mark.
225 # MAKEOPTS provides extra options that may be passed to 'make' when a
226 # program is compiled. Presently the only use is for specifying
227 # the number of parallel makes (-j) to perform. The suggested number
228 # for parallel makes is CPUs+1.
231 # PORTAGE_NICENESS provides a default increment to emerge's niceness level.
232 # Note: This is an increment. Running emerge in a niced environment will
233 # reduce it further. Default is unset.
236 # AUTOCLEAN enables portage to automatically clean out older or overlapping
237 # packages from the system after every successful merge. This is the
238 # same as running 'emerge -c' after every merge. Set with: "yes" or "no".
239 # This does not affect the unpacked source. See 'noclean' below.
242 # PORTAGE_TMPFS is a location where portage may create temporary files.
243 # If specified, portage will use this directory whenever possible
244 # for all rapid operations such as lockfiles and transient data.
245 # It is _highly_ recommended that this be a tmpfs or ramdisk. Do not
246 # set this to anything that does not give a significant performance
247 # enhancement and proper FS compliance for locks and read/write.
248 # /dev/shm is a glibc mandated tmpfs, and should be a reasonable
249 # setting for all linux kernel+glibc based systems.
250 #PORTAGE_TMPFS="/dev/shm"
252 # FEATURES are settings that affect the functionality of portage. Most of
253 # these settings are for developer use, but some are available to non-
254 # developers as well.
256 # 'autoaddcvs' causes portage to automatically try to add files to cvs
257 # that will have to be added later. Done at generation times
258 # and only has an effect when 'cvs' is also set.
259 # 'buildpkg' causes binary packages to be created of all packages that
261 # 'ccache' enables ccache support via CC.
262 # 'collision-protect'
263 # prevents packages from overwriting files that are owned by
264 # another package or by no package at all.
265 # 'cvs' causes portage to enable all cvs features (commits, adds),
266 # and to apply all USE flags in SRC_URI for digests -- for
268 # 'digest' causes digests to be generated for all packages being merged.
269 # 'distcc' enables distcc support via CC.
270 # 'distlocks' enables distfiles locking using fcntl or hardlinks. This
271 # is enabled by default. Tools exist to help clean the locks
272 # after crashes: /usr/lib/portage/bin/clean_locks.
273 # 'fixpackages' allows portage to fix binary packages that are stored in
274 # PKGDIR. This can consume a lot of time. 'fixpackages' is
275 # also a script that can be run at any given time to force
277 # 'gpg' enables basic verification of Manifest files using gpg.
278 # This features is UNDER DEVELOPMENT and reacts to features
279 # of strict and severe. Heavy use of gpg sigs is coming.
280 # 'keeptemp' prevents the clean phase from deleting the temp files ($T)
282 # 'keepwork' prevents the clean phase from deleting the WORKDIR.
283 # 'maketest' causes ebuilds to perform testing phases if they are capable
284 # of it. Some packages support this automaticaly via makefiles.
285 # 'noauto' causes ebuild to perform only the action requested and
286 # not any other required actions like clean or unpack -- for
287 # debugging purposes only.
288 # 'noclean' prevents portage from removing the source and temporary files
289 # after a merge -- for debugging purposes only.
290 # 'nostrip' prevents the stripping of binaries.
291 # 'notitles' disables xterm titlebar updates (which contain status info).
292 # 'sandbox' enables sandboxing when running emerge and ebuild.
293 # 'strict' causes portage to react strongly to conditions that are
294 # potentially dangerous, like missing/incorrect Manifest files.
295 # 'userpriv' allows portage to drop root privileges while it is compiling,
296 # as a security measure. As a side effect this can remove
297 # sandbox access violations for users.
298 # 'usersandbox' enables sandboxing while portage is running under userpriv.
299 #FEATURES="sandbox buildpkg ccache distcc userpriv usersandbox notitles noclean noauto cvs keeptemp keepwork autoaddcvs"
300 #FEATURES="sandbox ccache distcc distlocks autoaddcvs"
302 # CCACHE_SIZE sets the space use limitations for ccache. The default size is
303 # 2G, and will be set if not defined otherwise and ccache is in features.
304 # Portage will set the default ccache dir if it is not present in the
305 # user's environment, for userpriv it sets: ${PORTAGE_TMPDIR}/ccache
306 # (/var/tmp/ccache), and for regular use the default is /root/.ccache.
307 # Sizes are specified with 'G' 'M' or 'K'.
308 # '2G' for 2 gigabytes, '2048M' for 2048 megabytes (same as 2G).
311 # DISTCC_DIR sets the temporary space used by distcc.
312 #DISTCC_DIR="${PORTAGE_TMPDIR}/.distcc"
314 # RSYNC_EXCLUDEFROM is a file that portage will pass to rsync when it updates
315 # the portage tree. Specific chunks of the tree may be excluded from
316 # consideration. This may cause dependency failures if you are not careful.
317 # The file format is one pattern per line, blanks and ';' or '#' lines are
318 # comments. See 'man rsync' for more details on the exclude-from format.

321 # logging related variables:
322 # PORTAGE_ELOG_CLASSES: selects messages to be logged, possible values are:
323 # info, warn, error, log
324 # Warning: commenting this will disable elog
325 PORTAGE_ELOG_CLASSES="warn error log"
327 # PORTAGE_ELOG_SYSTEM: selects the module(s) to process the log messages. Modules
328 # included in portage are (empty means logging is disabled):
329 # save (saves one log per package in $PORTAGE_TMPDIR/elogs)
330 # custom (passes all messages to $PORTAGE_LOG_COMMAND)
331 # syslog (sends all messages to syslog)
332 # mail (send all messages to the mailserver defined
333 # in $PORTAGE_LOG_MAILURI)
334 # To use elog you should enable at least one module
335 #PORTAGE_ELOG_SYSTEM="save mail"
337 # PORTAGE_ELOG_COMMAND: only used with the "custom" logging module. Specifies a command
338 # to process log messages. Two variables are expanded:
339 # ${PACKAGE} - expands to the cpv entry of the processed
340 # package (see $PVR in ebuild(5))
341 # ${LOGFILE} - absolute path to the logfile
342 #PORTAGE_ELOG_COMMAND="/path/to/logprocessor -p ${PACKAGE} -f ${LOGFILE}"
344 # PORTAGE_ELOG_MAILURI: this variable holds all important settings for the mail
345 # module. In most cases listing the recipient adress and
346 # the receiving mailserver should be sufficient, but you can
347 # also use advanced settings like authentication or TLS. The
349 # adress [[user:passwd@]mailserver[:port]]
351 # adress: recipient adress
352 # user: username for smtp auth (defaults to none)
353 # passwd: password for smtp auth (defaults to none)
354 # mailserver: smtp server that should be used to deliver the mail (defaults to localhost)
355 # port: port to use on the given smtp server (defaults to 25, values > 100000 indicate that starttls should be used on (port-100000))
357 #PORTAGE_ELOG_MAILURI="root@localhost localhost" (this is also the default setting)
358 #PORTAGE_ELOG_MAILURI="user@some.domain mail.some.domain" (sends mails to user@some.domain using the mailserver mail.some.domain)
359 #PORTAGE_ELOG_MAILURI="user@some.domain user:secret@mail.some.domain:100465" (this is left uncommented as a reader excercise ;)
