From `man emerge`:
- prefix = not enabled (either disabled or removed)
* suffix = transition to or from the enabled state
% suffix = newly added or removed
() circumfix = forced, masked, or removed
So it means that the aiglx use flag used to be enabled but has now been
removed.
*xorg-server-1.2.0 (24 Jan 2007)
24 Jan 2007; Donnie Berkholz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>;
+xorg-server-1.2.0.ebuild:
Bump. Upstream incorporated some version of all of our patches, so no more
need for the aiglx USE flag.
Which means that aiglx in no longer optional but instead always enabled.
