We went over this already. We can't have client and server USE flags because the meaning is totally different for every package. Plus the 'probably' really isn't good enough, since there are some packages that have more specific dependency and the current "die in pkg_setup" stuff is a real pain -- do we really want to see that becoming a regular occurrence? -- Ciaran McCreesh : Gentoo Developer (Vim, Shell tools, Fluxbox, Cron) Mail : ciaranm at gentoo.org Web : http://dev.gentoo.org/~ciaranm
