I'd say that "dumb USE flag" is rather harsh. It seems clear that (a) many users would like a logrotate script installed for them, and since it's not all that difficult we should probably oblige, and that (b) some users won't want any logrotate scripts installed. Most optional things of this sort or handled by USE flags, although I'll grant that sometimes we decide by fiat that things should be done a certain way because making something optional is just too much work for too little gain. As an aside, my preference would be to install them by default, but allow a nologrotate equivalent to "nodoc", "noinfo", or "noman". That would require hacking portage, though, which seems silly for something so trivial. Does anybody remember why we chose "nodoc", "noinfo", and "noman" instead of a generic INSTALL_MASK="/usr/share/doc /usr/share/man ..." flag which could be more general? -g2boojum- -- Grant Goodyear Gentoo Developer [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gentoo.org/~g2boojum GPG Fingerprint: D706 9802 1663 DEF5 81B0 9573 A6DC 7152 E0F6 5B76
