Should we have ppds in the 2006.1 profile, or 2006.1/desktop? > -oss - oss is a legacy audio interface that has been superseeded by alsa in > most current installs, a default use flag is no longer needed There are *many* applications in the tree that do not use ALSA, but work only via the OSS emulation. Removing this is a bad idea and it would definitely be blocked by the games team. Probably half of the packages that I maintain require OSS capabilities. As for the others, they all seem reasonable. I've removed them from the main "USE" cluster in the x86/dev/2006.1/desktop profile, and into a separate grouping, so they can be easily removed, if that ends up being the decision. So does anyone have any objections to the others being removed? (apm imlib mikmod motif xmms) I won't, of course, do this retroactively, just for the 2006.1 and higher profiles. -- Chris Gianelloni Release Engineering - Strategic Lead x86 Architecture Team Games - Developer Gentoo Linux
