Ditto - and I voted against a slotted mysql at that :/ Maybe there needs to be an IWANTSLOTS feature or something, because the same rationale for why I was against a slotted mysql would have other people against a slotted kde, or slotted perl (ouch, so close to home, even if its conceptually fictional) - I neither need nor desire having multiple copies of the application available on one box, when i am only ever going to connect to one running copy. Hmmmm...a feature flag that (where applicable) disabled retaining other slots might be nice come to think of it....<hijack thread accidently>....disabled for the packages you need multiples of (berkdb?) but optionally enabled for packages like WM's and relational DB's where you just might not want more copies...or to remember to go back and unmerge and track the stray files for....</end accidental hijack> Just my 2cents. Don't take the vote results the wrong way - at leat you know people cared enough to comment, which means your working on something worthwhile :) ~mcummings -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
