Just to make sure I understand, you're suggesting a new profile that removes the absolutely pointless xfree line in the packages file (pointless because it's not a system file and we haven't had any xfree ebuilds in portage that fail to satisfy the requirement since probably the 1.2 days) and change the default x11 virtual to point to xorg-x11? It's not really clear to me that a new profile needs to be created every time a default virtual changes. My reasoning is that any user who already has something installed that satisfies that virtual will see absolutely no difference with the new profile. With X, that would be the vast majority of our users, who then might well be more confused that using the new profile does _not_ cause them to upgrade to xorg-x11. -g2boojum- --=20 Grant Goodyear=09 Gentoo Developer g2boojum@gentoo.org http://www.gentoo.org/~g2boojum GPG Fingerprint: D706 9802 1663 DEF5 81B0 9573 A6DC 7152 E0F6 5B76 --Q68bSM7Ycu6FN28Q Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFA7rvEptxxUuD2W3YRAuZyAJ9MqnG0CAPWI3zYJylr7+/HkBKeswCfTSQK 9bkd8shHwbpCFq8oF9mZgeY= =zt9C -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Q68bSM7Ycu6FN28Q--
