I think that, ideally, we should have many very specific per-package USE flags and have group them into aliases at different levels, the vaguest level being something such as "desktop" or "server" followed by things like "gui", "scanning" and similar. This would allow someone to, for example, set their USE="desktop -gui" if they want a console desktop system or USE="server gui - -qt" if they want a server with a GUI, but not using Qt if another toolkit is available. It'd probably be very difficult to implement this, though, especially in the current portage. - -- Luke-Jr Developer, Gentoo Linux http://www.gentoo.org/ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (GNU/Linux)
