Hello
Somewhat continuing my battle to reasonably minimise USE flags enabled by
default for users, I'd like to ask about one particular commit. Note that
there's no commit message and it looks a bit fishy:
http://sources.gentoo.org/viewcvs.py/gentoo-
x86/profiles/base/use.defaults?r1=1.1&r2=1.1.1.1
It enables considerable amount of USE flags in base profile.
I'm most concerned about 'gstreamer' USE flag as it's not needed at all for
KDE users (they get xine phonon backend as default and will just cause
unnecessary dependency chain).
If author of that commit is concerned about Gnome functionality, he could talk
with Gnome devs first - besides gstreamer is probably pulled there as
dependency so no point really in enabling it as USE flag in base profile.
Please remove it.
(also 'gtk' is there, why not 'kde' as well? remember we're talking about
*base* profile, not *desktop* profile)
And my main point is - since we have EAPI=1 (use defaults) and EAPI=2 (use
deps, yes, it's time to learn those), sane defaults should be set per package
level if possible and respected via use deps.
Also this is very related to bug [1] and discussion about it [2]. It would be
nice to see some progress on that matter (progress = perl and python dropped
from profile, and only enabled for ebuilds when maintainer see it fit).

That is on a different branch and is incredibly old. To make a long
story short...someone screwed up and created their own branch of the
whole tree. It isn't actually being used.

Sorry about confusion. That ^^^ part - it's typical pebkac. I had it enabled
somewhere in package.use (hard to spot in multiple files).
The second part with perl / python is still valid though.

Judging from positive responses, it's just the thing that can be done.
grep -rHe "built_with_use.*\(python\|perl\)" /usr/portage (courtesy of
Nirbhbeek) will generate remaining packages to be fixed.
