OK, so because every 3rd gnome user is not able to add the proper use flag to make.conf, every non-gnome user is stuck with investigating and putting -eds into make.conf to avoid pulling in gnome crap. Wonderful. Yes, I am ranting, because this kind of use flags basically pulls in huge number or unwanted dependencies; exactly the same thing with motif - would someone explain why the heck do do we need this thing in make.defaults? I don't think that this discussion will lead somewhere, so - anyone cares to add a non-bloated x86 profile (basically, something like profiles/hardened/x86/2.6 minus the hardened stuff) so that people who don't want all this bloat can have a sane starting point? -- Best regards, Jakub Moc mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] GPG signature: http://subkeys.pgp.net:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0xCEBA3D9E Primary key fingerprint: D2D7 933C 9BA1 C95B 2C95 B30F 8717 D5FD CEBA 3D9E ... still no signature ;)
