If the pidgin team wants these protocols enabled by everyone, why make them optional? I fully agree that the *defaults* should be sane, but if upstream doesn't want people turning these things off, why give people a switch? It's like putting out a big shiny red button that says "don't press me" then complaining when people press it. ;P Anyway, if nobody objects and nobody beats me to it, I'll add the USE flags for the common protocols to package.use in the profiles. Now, the real question is what should I enable? --=20 Chris Gianelloni Release Engineering Strategic Lead Alpha/AMD64/x86 Architecture Teams Games Developer/Council Member/Foundation Trustee Gentoo Foundation --=-CS1W94NBIpHkJc7WZ2ez Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBGoSuxkT4lNIS36YERAqYgAJ90e+0Y5zr69jzc9INUgjOpyg1tDQCfQpwr TQSZ8ANiCTR2khMOsKYP+TE= =1J1W -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-CS1W94NBIpHkJc7WZ2ez-- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
