That’s correct: in this patch set parameters are per-package, and I think it’s easier to start simple, but we could implement what you describe without too much hassle I think. For example, you’d type ‘--with-parameters=x11=false’, and that’d be applied to all the packages that have an ‘x11’ parameter. Ludo’.
