It doesn't use any kind of X11=20 build tool (what is there other than imake?). It does use some X apps like= =20 xmessage, xset etc. After you commit your metaebuilds we'll update the deps= =20 as needed. The only metaebuild we'll need to depend on is -libs. However, consider this usecase: user (who's used to the old docs) installs = new=20 stage3, types 'emerge kde', runs kdm... oops, no X server... To keep the current behaviour, the kde metaebuild (and gnome and the other= =20 WMs) would have to depend on xorg-x11, which strictly speaking is=20 unnecessary. Opinions? How can we educate the users to manually 'emerge=20 xorg-x11'? Personally I'm in favor of updating the docs, making a big=20 announcement on all channels, and preparing a nice bug to close duplicates= =20 against. We'll also need to educate them about xorg-x11 not installing fonts any=20 longer. The way I understood your metabuilds.txt, 'emerge xorg-x11 kde' wou= ld=20 result in an unusable system without any fonts at all... =2D-=20 Dan Armak Gentoo Linux developer (KDE) Public GPG key: http://dev.gentoo.org/~danarmak/danarmak-gpg-public.key =46ingerprint: DD70 DBF9 E3D4 6CB9 2FDD 0069 508D 9143 8D5F 8951 --nextPart3705164.EQAmNUyBFZ Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBDV5sXUI2RQ41fiVERAjAmAJ9pRori5EyJ0PsOzSzgrsBkLbIu0gCfSh86 eRxhvYIh6UGSrJSAY2t7dZ0= =EvgK -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart3705164.EQAmNUyBFZ-- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
