So, portage is ignoring my USE flags. Do I need a hammer for this to work? Is this me or what? I'm confused.

The arts use flag has been masked, that why it is parenthesised.
% grep arts /usr/portage/profiles/base/use.mask
# Mask USE arts. Deprecated. Remove this entry when kdelibs-3 is out of
tree.
arts

You need to add -arts to /etc/portage/profile/use.mask



While I was searching with Google, it is said this can be gotten rid of which I don't mind doing. As long as the sound works, which others says it does, then I'm fine without it. When I disable it, or remove it from make.conf, it won't re-emerge anything when I run emerge -uvDN world. The key part being the -N of course.

Anyway, I don't have that file so do I just create it? Is it sort of like a package.unmask file?
Thanks much.
