USE flags

  • apidoc - Build API documentation using app-doc/doxygen. May take a *long* time to build.
  • bitmap-later - Enable fast startup of file server by not reading bitmap till needed.
  • debug - Enable extra debug codepaths, like asserts and extra output. If you want to get meaningful backtraces see https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Quality_Assurance/Backtraces
  • dist-kernel - Enable subslot rebuilds on Distribution Kernel upgrades
  • doc - Add extra documentation (API, Javadoc, etc). It is recommended to enable per package instead of globally
  • fuse - Build fuse client.
  • kauth - Install the DEPRECATED kauth server, PAM modules, and utilities
  • kerberos - Add kerberos support
  • modules - Build libafs kernel module. Disable only if you know what you're doing: without this module OpenAFS client will not work.
  • namei - Enable namei fileserver instead of inode fileserver. You should disable this option only if compatibility with inode format AFS storage is required.
  • ncurses - Add ncurses support (console display library)
  • perl - Add optional support/bindings for the Perl language
  • pthreaded-ubik - Enable installation of pthreaded ubik applications.
  • selinux - !!internal use only!! Security Enhanced Linux support, this must be set by the selinux profile or breakage will occur
  • supergroups - Enable support for nested pts groups.
  • tsm - Enable use of the Tivoli TSM API libraries from app-backup/tsm for butc support. AMD64 only.
  • ubik-read-while-write - Enable vlserver read from db cache during write locks (EXPERIMENTAL)
