I see we're thinking along the same lines. Now, how fine grained do you want to take this? I can see that a ppp flag local to kde is good (people will either use dialup often, or not need it at all). artwork? some of those downloads are very big, so some user might want a way to install only the minimal artwork and never the rest. I'd like a way to not build the various admin gui tools - hell will freeze over long before I ever use anything other than vi to edit a crontab. And so on and so on. Or are you just looking for agreement and a mechanism to put use flags into split ebuilds and let the devs decide which ones are worth persuing? alan -- Optimists say the glass is half full, Pessimists say the glass is half empty, Developers say wtf is the glass twice as big as it needs to be?
