I'm just a user, but I personally would prefer the three separate ebuilds. If a meta-ebuild was included as an additional way to build, that'd be fine. I update whenever a new version comes out, but only build -kernel after updating the kernel. This makes sense as being the most efficient way to go. As for the "extra" packages, I don't use them and don't intend to. I know they may be small, but that's just one more file/build that I don't have to worry about and that clutters the system; I'm very picky about my system. Just my opinion on this. Have a safe holiday break. -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
