The intention was quite the same, have only base install (with only required & essential patches included). Adding more later throu USE. But choose to keep the gentoo-style (quite fully used the qmail-1.03-r16.ebuild, some 99%) of the ebuild. Also this one's keeping gentoo's daemontools,ucspi-tcp etc packages. Thanks. Rumen
