At some time in the past (like a year ago?) I had to add it to my make.conf because some packages would not work without it, but forgot the details. This is what is currently using it on my system: $ euse -I semantic-desktop global use flags (searching: semantic-desktop) ************************************************************ [+ C ] semantic-desktop - Cross-KDE support for semantic search and information retrieval Installed packages matching this USE flag: kde-base/dolphin-4.4.5 kde-base/gwenview-4.4.5-r1 kde-base/kdebase-runtime-meta-4.4.5 kde-base/kdelibs-4.4.5-r2 kde-base/kdepimlibs-4.4.5 kde-base/kdepim-meta-4.4.9 kde-base/kget-4.4.5 kde-base/plasma-workspace-4.4.5 kde-base/pykde4-4.4.5-r1 net-wireless/kbluetooth-0.4.2 local use flags (searching: semantic-desktop) ************************************************************ [+ C ] semantic-desktop (kde-base/pykde4): Enables Nepomuk and Soprano python language bindings A full KDE DE may need it more than this. -- Regards, Mick
