The point of removing this flag is to remove "optional" oss support. Have a look at http://gentoo-portage.com/Search?search=&use=oss for the useage of this flag. And for your games argument. The games ebuilds from the above list I have looked at, provide both the "alsa" and the "oss" use flag, as do most really. It is not about removing OSS emulation, it is about removing duplicated backends. > > So does anyone have any objections to the others being removed? > (apm imlib mikmod motif xmms) foomaticdb is missing here, I hope you will not forget it -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
