Howdy,
So I was reading PGO (Planet.Gentoo.org) and Patrick's post got thinking. Yep, X was set in make.conf, like I have done for a very long time on any gentoo "workstation". Now it may be time to rethink this flag. The gist of what I understand is that X is set, per profile, if appropriate. On my workstations I usually just set the minimimum profile (architecture) like so: # eselect profile list [1] default/linux/amd64/13.0 * On so I run lxde and I experiment with lxqt as the desktop. In light of Patricks post on PGO, do I have to now bump up the profile to [3] default/linux/amd64/13.0/desktop What if I'm building a hardened base lxde (lxqt) workstation set the profile to [19] hardened/linux/amd64 and unset X in the make.conf file? # euse -i X This list does not look like I need to set X any more in make.conf? A side note: it had this line in the output: dev-java/icedtea: Make X buildtime-only depenency. !!! Metadata cache not found. You need to run !!! 'egencache --repo=java --update' !!! to generate metadata for your overlays Very cool that portage picked up this need by "euse -i X". All input is welcome, James
