So Thomáš posted today [1] that the new LibreOffice 4 is going to _need_ an LDAP provider in the future because they are not going to keep it optional as it is now. Right now, the only provider we have in portage (as far as me and him can tell) is openldap (although mozldap also exists).
This made me cringe for a moment because I really don't want to have the OpenLDAP server installed on my laptops, but then I realize that there _is_ a minimal USE flag that only installs the library. But of course, that's not the default. Now one could probably argue that we should replace minimal with a server USE flag enabled by default, that's a different story I guess. In the mean time, I would suggest that, since the desktop profiles already have USE=ldap enabled, we should default on the same profiles to net-nds/openldap minimal to make sure that the default desktop users don't get a copy of openldap (server) installed. To make this cleaner as well, I fixed the ebuild so that with USE=minimal it doesn't install some of the paths that are used by the server, or depend on packages that the client libs don't need. So, should we change the profiles' defaults? [1] http://goo.gl/DQ9kD -- Diego Elio Pettenò — Flameeyes flamee...@flameeyes.eu — http://blog.flameeyes.eu/
