After some resent discussion here of USE in thread: Subject: How to play quicktime (*.mov) videos with firefox
I'm a little confused by what I see when investigating the emerge of gimp (wrapped for mail). Calculating dependencies... done! [ebuild N ] media-libs/babl-0.0.22 USE="-mmx -sse" 388 kB [ebuild N ] media-libs/gegl-0.0.22 USE="svg -cairo -debug -doc -ffmpeg -jpeg -mmx -openexr -png -raw -sdl -sse -v4l" 1,226 kB [ebuild N ] media-gfx/gimp-2.6.6 USE="alsa python svg -aalib (-altivec) -curl -dbus -debug -doc -exif -gnome -hal -jpeg -lcms -mmx -mng -pdf -png -smp -sse -tiff -webkit -wmf" 15,700 kB Would anyone want things like -jpeg, -pdf, -png, -tiff, -exif - turned off in an image (or photo) processing program? What does it mean that those flags are turned off? Should I turn them on before emerging?
