The user has to take a deep look into the ebuilt and the binary package to see what's actually inside. And if you just use this one flag for the whole monolithic Xorg tree, you'll loose the ability to install just what's needed. There has to be an frontline somewhere, and its only *one* line. So you have to make a decision, where it actually is. No matter where you define it, in most situations you will have to install much much more than really necessary. Either the minimal variant is too big that it doesn't save much, or it is too small that you'll need the whole thing. I think, modularized Xorg, as we have today, is far much better than the old monolithic thing. cu -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- Enrico Weigelt == metux IT service - http://www.metux.de/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please visit the OpenSource QM Taskforce: http://wiki.metux.de/public/OpenSource_QM_Taskforce Patches / Fixes for a lot dozens of packages in dozens of versions: http://patches.metux.de/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
