To solve this issue it would have to be an on-by-default flag, i.e.=20 'noxserver'. I know some people are strongly against nofoo flags.=20 Also, we'd have to include RDEPEND=3D"!noxserver? ( x11-base/xorg-x11 )" in= =20 every ebuild in the tree being updated to depend on x11-base/xorg-libs. Or = an=20 eclass to the same effect. This would be easily forgotten in new ebuilds, a= nd=20 then we'd get inconsistent behavior. =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 --nextPart1537467.tBRmpo2FH2 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBDV73NUI2RQ41fiVERAujkAJ9/jvVLxIpk8PTMnYYnoq8h13Z4SgCdFx8A iMSXP4ojKE7uCD9gfOH7RoI= =fqMP -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart1537467.tBRmpo2FH2-- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
