Hello developers, today I posted a bug (187475) about a minor issue about the useflag libnotify not beeing in the default desktop profile. Me was told that this sould be discussed on gentoo-dev. I can't really understand why such a minor issue have to be discussed among all developers as there are certainly much more importand things to do.
Beeing a user I have the feeling that bugs concerning such minor issues aren't welcome among the gentoo developers. I consider it important for gentoo to regard such details too achieve a more polished gnome desktop experience by default as we have now. To come to the bug, I'll comment Jakub Moc's last comment: > As said above - bloating default profiles even more goes to gentoo-dev mailing > list, so that people could comment. I for one am already annoyed enough by the > nonsense being added there, such as USE=kerberos or USE=ldap. I agree that there is too much enabled by default, but other things are missing. I personally need kerberos and ldap but that shouldn't be the default for most singel-user desktop installations. So, these are my proposed changes for the default desktop profile: +bash-completion +bluetooth +ffmpeg (totem isn't much without it) +libnotify (gives very nice popup notifications in many programs instead of an annoying, workflow interrupting dialog box with an OK button) +ppds (everyone has a printer, and this is needed to configure it without further investigations. cups is already in) +startup-notification -fortran (not 1% of the desktop users need fortran and it speeds up the compile) -kerberos -ldap I'm curious about your comments, -- Martin Schwier Gentoo user ;) -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
