I don't see any of those USE flags. This is from the octopus overlay: [ebuild R ~] www-client/palemoon-27.2.1::octopus USE="alsa dbus ffmpeg gtk2 official-branding optimize printing speech spell wave webm -devtools - gtk3 -jemalloc -necko-wifi -pulseaudio -shared-js -strip-binaries -system- cairo -system-compress -system-images -system-libevent -system-pixman - system-spell -system-sqlite -system-vpx -valgrind -webrtc" 0 KiB If I remove that overlay and install the palemoon overlay, I get this: !!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "palemoon" have been masked. !!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request: - www-client/palemoon-27.2.1-r1::palemoon (masked by: package.mask) /var/lib/layman/palemoon/profiles/package.mask: # When built with gcc >=5 Pale Moon is highly unstable, so you are # prevented from building it if you are on a 5.* profile. You can use # gcc-config to change your compiler profile, just remember to change it back # afterwards. You need to have the appropriate versions of gcc installed for # them to be shown in gcc-config. - www-client/palemoon-27.2.1::palemoon (masked by: package.mask) - www-client/palemoon-27.2.0::palemoon (masked by: package.mask) - www-client/palemoon-27.1.2::palemoon (masked by: package.mask) - www-client/palemoon-27.1.0::palemoon (masked by: package.mask) - www-client/palemoon-27.0.3-r1::palemoon (masked by: package.mask) This is in spite of having "www-client/palemoon" (no qualifiers) in package.keywords, and having only version 4.9.4 p1.0 of GCC installed. Really, sometimes I doubt the evidence of my own eyes. :-( -- Regards Peter
