As said by others, dri can stay in the default base profile, as it only affects things when X is specifically installed, in which case dri would be a good default to have. I'm not sure whether we need to keep cups at all. I haven't printed anything from my personal PC or laptop in years. And I'm sure I'm not the only one. So I'm voting for dropping cups useflag from all profiles. If some people think it is necessary, maybe it can be moved up to the more complete desktop profiles for gnome and kde. For a simple non-gnome/kde desktop, I see no need for cups to be enabled by default at all. Since this may be an unexpected change for some, let's only drop it from the new 13.0 profiles. > * remove setting USE=pppd in default/linux/make.defaults, instead have it > default to on in net-dialup/capi4k-utils (the only place where it is used) +1 -- Cheers, Ben | yngwin Gentoo developer Gentoo Qt project lead, Gentoo Wiki admin
