Gentoo has useflags to provide what binary distribution (debian pointed=20 as its one of the best in their field) do by butchering the packages. The only good reason to split a package is if takes too much to build=20 and you have a clean way to do that (e.g qemu and kde) (then we provide=20 meta packages to give back what people expect from emerge foo) If upstream package its stuff in a way it's better to work with them to=20 accomodate different needs, butchering leads to annoyance on our side=20 and their. lu --=20 Luca Barbato Gentoo Council Member Gentoo/linux Gentoo/PPC http://dev.gentoo.org/~lu_zero --=20 gentoo-dev@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
