It's an issue of "for packages with optional foo support, does it make most sense for foo to be enabled by default?". Remember that, by tradition, our default USE flag setup is for desktop systems on archs where desktops are available. If you'd rather have a server-like setup, persuade your arch team to introduce sparc-style server profiles. --=20 Ciaran McCreesh : Gentoo Developer (I can kill you with my brain) Mail : ciaranm at gentoo.org Web : http://dev.gentoo.org/~ciaranm --Sig_cwHnWclhz8.aJ_8pwLixoQ+ Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFDsA3H96zL6DUtXhERAtZ1AJ4ll8lLkZLD+BdhkIYjTH/8nR3frACgqzp1 8iKbdeBZixBeGuFYEYP7yHg= =8hJm -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_cwHnWclhz8.aJ_8pwLixoQ+-- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
