It allows portage to manage interdependencies and, in fact, everything else= it=20 manages. Heavy use of DO_NOT_COMPILE, such as emerging only kmail + its dep= s=20 from all of kdepim (of course each user has to figure out for himself what= =20 those deps are, first), is more or less equivalent to linux from scratch.=20 It'd be manual building, except portage will think it knows what is=20 installed, and will be wrong. =2D-=20 Dan Armak Gentoo Linux developer (KDE) Matan, Israel Public GPG key: http://dev.gentoo.org/~danarmak/danarmak-gpg-public.key =46ingerprint: DD70 DBF9 E3D4 6CB9 2FDD 0069 508D 9143 8D5F 8951 --nextPart6786658.V0yWpLg3Jk Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBBdV+2UI2RQ41fiVERAgPeAJ9/J7NOCzZ0S8A1i0G1cXTpRLZLcQCdG6c6 wRhklNyDnQPnSdwIW0VI7Ls= =xmZ2 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart6786658.V0yWpLg3Jk--
