Well, we still have users that use bootsplash on 2.4 kernels when using catalyst, so I would probably not want to see this removed from the tree just yet. So long as we are still providing 2.4 kernels with bootsplash patches, we should keep the userland tools in portage. > This would also involve removing media-gfx/bootsplash-themes-livecd (newer > fbsplash livecd themes are kept in media-gfx/splash-themes-livecd), and we'd > probably rename bootsplash-themes to splash-themes (bootsplash-themes works > with both bootsplash and fbsplash, so no need to drop it). I don't have a problem with us dropping media-gfx/bootsplash-themes-livecd, however, since they were just the themes used on the releases, and I'm sure nobody wants those old things anymore... ;] If you do drop it, let me know so I can drop the actual themes from my dev space, too. -- Chris Gianelloni Release Engineering - Strategic Lead/QA Manager Games - Developer Gentoo Linux
