I don't think this is a good idea. We've promised people that they can keep unmerged-usr if they want, but not having stages means new installs aren't doable, and it also makes testing a pain because you can't easily unmerge. You can easily merge, but you can't easily unmerge. What you can do is provide a limited number of non-merged-usr variants given it's just about saving people rebuilds. (I also think it's the wrong way to do such a change anyway - the releng part should be last after decision-making, not first.) > [...] > Cheers & have fun, thanks, sam --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iOUEARYKAI0WIQQlpruI3Zt2TGtVQcJzhAn1IN+RkAUCZfTYX18UgAAAAAAuAChp c3N1ZXItZnByQG5vdGF0aW9ucy5vcGVucGdwLmZpZnRoaG9yc2VtYW4ubmV0MjVB NkJCODhERDlCNzY0QzZCNTU0MUMyNzM4NDA5RjUyMERGOTE5MA8cc2FtQGdlbnRv by5vcmcACgkQc4QJ9SDfkZA/7wD/Uhz3KQxu17AeHnHuk2ThdQivXRkzOwTYsBIq 0BNACMcBAI3uNCrE8gbALnd204DRXCFHifHv/7UyhpK41n8YmkQL =3qWe -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
