While things like the minimal useflag is a joy, the monolithic nature of most gentoo packages is a headache. Kde has been spit and libstdc++ can be installed without gcc but there are many other packages that don't have this feature. For example, installing qt also installs qt designer. Has someone worked on changing ebuild so that it could create many binary packages from one source? Something similar to debian's dpkg-buildpackage. For example, it would be wonderful to be able to do ebuild qt-something.ebuild split-package and have in /usr/portage/packages a package for qt-designer and a package for the rest of the library. Is this a bad idea or simply not the Gentoo way? Thanks for any comments -- Rafael =C1vila de Esp=EDndola --=20 gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
