The latter. Specifically, You have these flags in USE, but portage is going to remerge kdelibs without them (-) as they are no longer valid (%) for 4.2.1-r3 The ebuild and the Changelog separately mention that these flags are now redundant as support is mandatory > If so are they no long valid for kdelibs (in which case > I leave them in make.conf) or are they completely > deprecated flages (and hence I should removed them > from make.conf)? The former. Other stuff is likely to make use of plasma and webkit (they are fairly generic things) -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com
