We've always installed without fortran, and it was easy enough to switch it back in for the user who needed koctave. > -kerberos > -ldap > Well I think those two are there so that samba works well as an Active Directory server, or is integrated better into a Windoze setup. Kerberos was only added recently for that reason, iirc. So I'd vote against losing them for a default install, since integration with heterogeneous networks is so important. Dunno if that can be managed better with package.use. (If I haven't commented on one it means I don't have a preference either way.) -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
