Hi ,
When running emerge -p for some package , one gets for each dependency
and package a list of USE flags at the end of the line.
some are colored in red , some blue
what are the differences ?
Thanks,

From the emerge man page:
[ebuild U ] sys-devel/distcc-2.16 [2.13-r1] USE="ipv6* -gtk -qt%"
Here we see that the make.conf variable USE affects how
this package is built. In this example,
ipv6 optional support is enabled and both gtk and qt
support are disabled. The asterisk following
ipv6 indicates that ipv6 support was disabled the last
time this packages was installed. The per-
cent sign following qt indicates that the qt option
has been added to the package since it was
last installed. For information about all USE symbols,
see the --verbose option documentation
above.
*Note: Flags that haven't changed since the last
install are only displayed when you use the
--pretend and --verbose options. Using the --quiet
option will prevent all information from being
displayed.
The colors tend to follow what is being changed to make it more
noticeable. I think red is disabled or something to that effect. I
don't pay to much attention to the colors, I look for the percent sign
for changes. Keep in mind that you can change or disable those colors
locally too.
