The specification of USE flags is the usual way to configure programs on Gentoo. USE flags may be set manually, or via user-friendly tools such as 'ufed' (USE flag editor), which lists flags along with their description. A list of available USE flags is available in the [http://www.gentoo.org/dyn/use-index.xml "Gentoo Linux Use Variable Descriptions" page of the Gentoo website].

===ebuild===
{{
MainHauptartikel|ebuild}}

Gentoo does not, by default, use binary packages as other [[package management system]]s do (like [[RPM Package Manager|RPM]]), employing instead a format known as the ebuild. Whereas RPMs are precompiled [[binaries]], ebuilds are [[shell script]]s with variables and functions which contain a description of the software, and instructions on how to obtain, configure, [[compiler|compile]], and install it, more closely akin to (but more powerful than) the [[RPM Package Manager#Spec file|.spec files](contracted; show full)Packages with known problems or not considered mature enough to be candidates for stable are ''hard masked'' by one of the various package.mask files in /usr/portage/profiles, and such entries are generally accompanied by a comment from developers explaining the reason for the mask.
