We used the sys categories only for packages that we used for our minimum runtime system. All dependencies assume that all sys packages are installed. We change this now. I'm currently reworking dependencies so they assume all packages from sys-build are installed. (bad english). There is a list in the cvs tree called current-packages.build. All packges required for a minimum build system are listed there. (not all are commited, I'm still testing). I will upload a build-tarball in the next days. We make this move to be able to build profiles without development tools. There should be no runtime dependencies to build packages. The build stuff can be linked statically, which should make it easier for other people to port gentoo-linux to other platforms or to build gentoo on top of an other distribution. (simply unpack the build-tarball to a temporary location and chroot there). If statically linked the environment requires about 130MB (dynamically 100MB). The other thing I'm working on is adding more USE flags, so people are able to build an Xfree free system or a system without using berkdb..... All these things need much time and I think I'm finaly finished in a month or so. But then we should have a real cool generic meta-distribution. That's why I'm always abit seceptik if you want to move packages between categories and stuff like that. We want to put the build tarball on an cd together with the portage tree and the distfiles. This makes it possible to build everything from cd for your desired target with your own USE and OPT flags. achim~ > > And shouldnt guile be in dev-lang, since it's technically just an > interpreter, like python or perl?
