WHY is "arts" turned on... There's absolutely no reason for it. AFAIK, you can even build KDE without it. Why are we turning "gnome" on... who says you want to pull in the damn desktop? "eds"... very very very specific Gnome app that most people don't want support for. If I remember correctly, this was added cause someone was too lazy to do the right work around in the ebuild. "gtk" and "gtk2", I thought we cleaned up this mess of just 1 USE flag. But seriously, why are these on? "kde", uh same reason and Gnome above... "ogg", "oggvorbis", "vorbis"... I thought we cleaned up this mess... "gstreamer"... again Gnome specific. "qt"... why? "cups"... who says I want printer support.. "foomaticdb" depends on cups.. "motif"... what a horrible terrible windowing toolkit that needs to just be rm -rf'd. "emboss" wow... what a very very crazy specific USE flag... Can we please clean up some of this trash? -- Doug Goldstein http://dev.gentoo.org/~cardoe/ --------------enig24DAFCCD380542E3E6A59E9D Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFDr3slBtvusYtCZMsRAgROAJ4ptGodWAhuCCEVu/tHT1lBNIKdaQCfXJrl nwK/uBbTgwX0Wa+AgTsU3kQ= =Btg7 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig24DAFCCD380542E3E6A59E9D-- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
