The usual report looks like this: # USE=vanilla emerge -pvk bash These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done! [ebuild R] app-shells/bash-4.2_p45 USE=examples net nls plugins (readline) vanilla* -afs -bashlogger -mem-scramble 0 kB Total: 1 package (1 reinstall), Size of downloads: 0 kB !!! The following binary packages have been ignored due to non matching USE: =app-shells/bash-4.2_p45 -vanilla NOTE: The --binpkg-respect-use=n option will prevent emerge from ignoring these binary packages if possible. Using --binpkg-respect-use=y will silence this warning. Also: Are packages with the bindist useflag are automatically exempt from being binary merged if -bindist is given? No. binpkgs and bindist are two completely different things and not related in any way -- Alan McKinnon alan.mckin...@gmail.com
