<longdescription>
Electron is a cross platform application development framework based on web technologies based on Chromium
</longdescription>
<use>
<flag name="bluetooth">Enable Bluetooth. Disabling bluetooth does break WebAuthn. Could also break something else. Improved patch is welcome.</flag>
<flag name="bundled-toolchain">Download and use the upstream binary toolchain(s) to build Chromium</flag>
<flag name="clang">Use Clang compiler instead of GCC</flag>
<flag name="debug">Enable DCHECK feature with severity configurable at runtime. Mostly intended for debugging and development, NOT RECOMMENDED for general use.</flag>
<flag name="dev-dependencies">Keep Electron's devDependencies. This makes them available in node_modules. For example "asar" utility is one of them.</flag>
<flag name="ffmpeg-chromium">(binpkg only) Use Chromium FFmpeg fork (<pkg>media-video/ffmpeg-chromium</pkg>) rather than mainline FFmpeg (<pkg>media-video/ffmpeg</pkg>)</flag>
<flag name="gclient">Fetch the Chromium sources with gclient (<pkg>dev-util/depot-tools</pkg>) instead of the tarball. The git mirror cache is kept in ${DISTDIR}/gclient-src (configurable via GCLIENT_STORE_DIR).</flag>
<flag name="gtk4">Build with GTK4 headers</flag>
<flag name="hangouts">Enable support for Google Hangouts features such as screen sharing</flag>
<flag name="hevc">Enable HEVC decoding support. Should work with system-ffmpeg, but might require additional patching for the built-in one.</flag>
<flag name="js-type-check">Enable JavaScript type-checking for Chrome's web technology-based UI. Requires Java.</flag>
<flag name="libcxx">Use bundled C++ Standard Library (libc++)</flag>
<flag name="nvidia">Use libXNVCtrl library from <pkg>x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers</pkg> instead of the bundled one</flag>
<flag name="optimize-thinlto">Whether to enable ThinLTO optimizations. Turning ThinLTO optimizations on can substantially increase link time and binary size, but they generally also make binaries a fair bit faster.</flag>
<flag name="optimize-webui">Optimize parts of Chromium's UI written with web technologies (HTML/CSS/JS) for runtime performance purposes. This does more work at compile time for speed benefits at runtime.</flag>
<flag name="pax-kernel">Allow building on a PaX-enabled kernel</flag>
<flag name="pgo">Enable PGO. Requires bundled binary profile data in sources tree. Often requires masked/testing llvm.</flag>
<flag name="pic">Disable optimized assembly code that is not PIC friendly</flag>
<flag name="proprietary-codecs">Enable codecs for patent-encumbered audio and video formats</flag>
<flag name="screencast">Enable support for remote desktop and screen cast using <pkg>media-video/pipewire</pkg></flag>
<flag name="suid">Build the SUID sandbox, which is only needed on CONFIG_USER_NS=n kernels</flag>
<flag name="system-abseil-cpp">Use the system <pkg>dev-cpp/abseil-cpp</pkg> instead of the bundled one</flag>
<flag name="system-av1">Use the system <pkg>media-libs/libaom</pkg> and <pkg>media-libs/dav1d</pkg> instead of the bundled ones</flag>
<flag name="system-brotli">Use the system <pkg>app-arch/brotli</pkg> instead of the bundled one</flag>
<flag name="system-crc32c">Use the system <pkg>dev-libs/crc32c</pkg> instead of the bundled one</flag>
<flag name="system-double-conversion">Use the system <pkg>dev-libs/double-conversion</pkg> instead of the bundled one</flag>
<flag name="system-ffmpeg">Use the system <pkg>media-video/ffmpeg</pkg> instead of the bundled one</flag>
<flag name="system-harfbuzz">Use the system <pkg>media-libs/harfbuzz</pkg> instead of the bundled one</flag>
<flag name="system-icu">Use the system <pkg>dev-libs/icu</pkg> instead of the bundled one</flag>
<flag name="system-jsoncpp">Use the system <pkg>dev-libs/jsoncpp</pkg> instead of the bundled one</flag>
<flag name="system-libevent">Use the system <pkg>dev-libs/libevent</pkg> instead of the bundled one</flag>
<flag name="system-libusb">Use the system <pkg>dev-libs/libusb</pkg> instead of the bundled one</flag>
<flag name="system-libvpx">Use the system <pkg>media-libs/libvpx</pkg> instead of the bundled one</flag>
<flag name="system-openh264">Use the system <pkg>media-libs/openh264</pkg> instead of the bundled one. If disabled, it will restrict USE=bindist.</flag>
<flag name="system-openjpeg">Use the system-wide <pkg>media-libs/openjpeg</pkg> instead of the bundled one. OpenJPEG use are exclusively for Chromium's PDF viewer.</flag>
<flag name="system-png">Use system libpng instead of the bundled one</flag>
<flag name="system-re2">Use the system-wide <pkg>dev-libs/re2</pkg> instead of the bundled one</flag>
<flag name="system-snappy">Use the system-wide <pkg>app-arch/snappy</pkg> instead of the bundled one</flag>
<flag name="system-woff2">Use the system <pkg>media-libs/woff2</pkg> instead of the bundled one</flag>
<flag name="system-zstd">Use the system <pkg>app-arch/zstd</pkg> instead of the bundled one</flag>
<flag name="thinlto">Build with ThinLTO support. LTO (Link Time Optimization) achieves better runtime performance through whole-program analysis and cross-module optimization (highly recommended).</flag>
<flag name="ungoogled">Apply ungoogled-chromium modifications to chromium sources (electron sources are not modified be it better or worse). Might break electron apps or electron itself!</flag>
