  • "depends" - those 2 packages depend on gcc? How few!

  • What are direct dependencies? What are indirect dependencies? Direct of gcc - those which depend on gcc (to be dependent - is to require gcc). Indirect of gcc = gcc are dependent of those packages? That is all the difference?

  • how to undertand directly and what's the difference . Depgraph indirect - there is a separate option. So it is not strict the difference. May be it's better to say in what purpose do they serve?

  • How they are usually used, in what context of thought and mind. This is my first experience with linux I use emerge to install and emerge --unmerge to uninstall. +may be some USE flags USE="" emerge, that's all. I've read a lot. But I don't know the way of thought in general.
