I really don't have a problem with any of these being added, but I'd rather hear the opinions of my peers. Also, if these *were* to get added, they wouldn't be added to the 2007.0 profiles and would wait for 2007.1's profiles, which we should be starting up some time soon. I usually ask for these sorts of suggestions over on the gentoo-releng mailing list near the beginning of our release cycle. > -fortran (not 1% of the desktop users need fortran and it speeds up > the compile) ...

I added them for a reason and don't really intend on removing them. As I said, I consider the ability to intercommunicate with Active Directory to be a *vital* capability for a desktop... any desktop. --=20 Chris Gianelloni Release Engineering Strategic Lead Alpha/AMD64/x86 Architecture Teams Games Developer/Council Member/Foundation Trustee Gentoo Foundation --=-x9h0i/YqfQxrMfo0AKkR 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) iD8DBQBGsoZFkT4lNIS36YERAlxwAJ9Z6R2nCS0ssYkHe6586En318FupwCgiltg WipBN0iFwCyPhrpDwE7PwjU= =PzN2 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-x9h0i/YqfQxrMfo0AKkR-- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
