It really depends on, from what side you're coming. If you want just a few packages, then all is well with the current approach. If you, however, want everything but a few packages, then the current approach isn't so fine anymore. I do understand that there's a reason why it is the way it is, but this does not mean, that I have to like it, does it? Michael -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
