They are outdated and no longer needed on current systems: -apm - only very old notebooks use apm -foomaticdb - foomaticdb is only used for development foomatic xml files. SInce most of our users do not develop printer drivers I suggest making "ppds" a default use flag instead. -fortran - Do we really need this outdated language as a default in gcc? -imlib - imlib depends on gtk-1, which imo should not be installed in a default gentoo installation - there should be no legacy depends for a plain emerge kde. -motif - is unmaintained in portage and rather outdated, does not look good. Should not be default for optional interfaces -oss - oss is a legacy audio interface that has been superseeded by alsa in most current installs, a default use flag is no longer needed -xmms - xmms depends on gtk-1 and has been superseeded by audacious/bmpx I would like to make the changes in a new 2006.1 profile, how do I go about that? I think the current profiles should not be touched, since some users may still be using the flags. Any comments/objections - any outdated useflags I forgot? Have a look at /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/2006.0/make.defaults for the list of current default use flags. Regards, Stefan -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
