That ebuild does things differently. The other palemoon ebuild was all-or-nothing for a bunch of system libs. The octopus ebuild is granular, allowing separate choices for system-cairo system-compress system-images system-libevent system-pixman system-spell system-sqlite and system-vpx. -- Walter Dnes <waltd...@waltdnes.org> I don't run "desktop environments"; I run useful applications
