Any new bug would be resolved as a duplicate, so adding a duplicate bug is 100% pointless. You're more than welcome to comment on bug #69707, but my reasoning for not wishing to spend my time supporting it is very unlikely to change. > > we have done in the past, as it separates out into "desktop" and > > "server" profiles.

I am definitely not splitting up the gnome and kde stuff simply because there are many people that use either both (such as gnome with k3b and select kde apps, or vice versa) or neither. I am trying to keep from diverging too much from the current profiles, but this is an opportunity to add in some nice "extras" to the desktop, such as hal/dbus, and even to remove some "legacy" USE flags that might not make as much sense these days, like xmms. > And, THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for starting work on a server profile!= !!! Understand that the design behind this profile might be a bit different than you think. If you want a server, use hardened. We will still recommend hardened to anyone wanting to build a server. This will be for those of us that cannot use hardened, such as people building game servers running binary games that cannot be run properly under hardened. While I intend to make it the best "default-linux server" profile that I can, with the help of the other teams, I still won't recommend it to people, nor will I plan on building any stages built against the profile, as there are already hardened stages available and the default-linux "desktop" stages can be used to build off the server profile. --=20 Chris Gianelloni Release Engineering - Strategic Lead x86 Architecture Team Games - Developer Gentoo Linux --=-ZBbJjWwoaHTQUNQFT1yz Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBEGDvtkT4lNIS36YERAvffAJ4snljqQ9QEpyjZyF8Su/nVkQxDTwCgke4m zvuAxPhSGfptHpSH6k0oLzE= =l8hr -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-ZBbJjWwoaHTQUNQFT1yz-- -- gentoo-releng@gentoo.org mailing list
