Hello everyone !
Here are a few of my thoughts about the portage system.
Pehaps you can tell me if something will be changed to my needs and to that
what I understand Gentoo wants to be as announced on their website.
If I have the X-Flag set, which is okay because I want X, and try to emerge
jed to have a good editor, Gentoo wants to compile the whole XFree-Package to
also get xjed which I didn't want.
It compiles X with all drivers - Sorcerer Linux asked, which X11-drivers are
needed.
Same with alsa - all card-drivers are made, I have to edit the ebuild-file and
all changes will be gone after the next emerge rsync.
As you see with XMMS and the complainments about the avi-plugin, especially
the Gentoo-user wants to have the power to control what is compiled and
installed.
And if I correctly understand the webpage then this is what Gentoo wants to
provide - but IMHO it doesn't at the moment.
Nico Amtsberg
Nonetheless a very good distribution
