I dont see this as a real reason to not change the default personally. mips-sources exists in the tree for a reason, and are being actively maintained. by setting the default virtual for alsa-sound to gentoo-sources surely wont effect you anyways, considering alsa-drivers doesn't work, gentoo-sources likely dont work, and mips-sources provide virtual/alsa? If at some point alsa-drivers decides to work, then can you not just redefine the virtual in the mips profile? Anyways, I see no real point here to prevent the move, however I found it educational re: alsa-driver :) -- Role: Gentoo Linux Kernel Lead Gentoo Linux: http://www.gentoo.org Public Key: gpg --recv-keys 9C745515 Key fingerprint: A0AF F3C8 D699 A05A EC5C 24F7 95AA 241D 9C74 5515 Web: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x9C745515 -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
