Regardless of whether it's gonna be virtuals or metabuilds, aren't we going to have problems with mixed X installs (different parts from different implementations)? Will we be able to make sure if the user emerges some app that requires library A from an X implementation and later emerges an application that requires library B, that A and B are taken from the same implementation? If not, what would happen if the user later emerged the top-level xorg ebuild? Maurice. -- Maurice van der Pot Gentoo Linux Developer [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gentoo.org Creator of BiteMe!
