Everything is bundled and doesn't need to be built. I know your are against USE for installation only purposes, so my question is why? The reason I introduced the USE here and in general to use it in similar locations is that those packages install tons of documentation and examples, which I personally don't like to waste my diskspace with. What is wrong to give the user this install only option? justin > > Japanese man pages are installed by a number of packages, and so are > Italian and others — you could make them optional with linguas_ja, but > my suggestion would rather be to keep them and tell people who want to > have a minimal install to either use localepurge or installmask. >
