Sort of. The package building system is very simple and arch provides facilities for building everything from scratch if you want to.[1] [1]: https://wiki.arch

- stefantalpalaru 14y agoUSE flags on Gentoo are a way to expose configuration options to the user, not just allowing packages to be built from source. More details: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=2&chap=2 http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=...
- fmoralesc 14y agoThat's why I said "sort of". Arch (as far as I know) doesn't provide a global way to do what USE flags do in gentoo, but the same end can be acomplished by tweaking the packages . There are also ways to apply those changes automatically, but they are not the same thing either.[1] [1]: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=10314 http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=10314
