<pkgmetadata> <maintainer type="person"> <email>prometheanfire@gentoo.org</email> <name>Matthew Thode</name> </maintainer> <longdescription lang="en"> Plymouth is an application that runs very early in the boot process (even before the root filesystem is mounted!) that provides a graphical boot animation while the boot process happens in the background. It is designed to work on systems with DRM modesetting drivers. Ideally, the goal is to get rid of all flicker during startup. For systems that don't have DRM mode settings drivers, plymouth falls back to text mode. </longdescription> <use> <flag name="drm">Provides abstraction to the DRM drivers (intel, nouveau and vmwgfx at this moment)</flag> <flag name="pango">Adds support for printing text on splash screen and text prompts, e.g. for password</flag> <flag name="split-usr">Enable this if /bin and /usr/bin are separate directories</flag> <flag name="freetype">Build with freetype support (if enabled, used for encryption prompts)</flag> </use> <upstream> <remote-id type="freedesktop-gitlab">plymouth/plymouth</remote-id> </upstream> </pkgmetadata>
