My oldest machine (a dual-core AMD64) has been building webkit for 6 hours and still going :( Can anyone answer a few questions for me, please? 1) Why do we not have a binary webkit package in portage, like libreoffice-bin, firefox-bin, thunderbird-bin, etc? 2) Why does webkit-gtk drag in ruby and several ruby gems? I've wasted hours trying to untangle conflicts between multiple ruby versions, which I need *only* because webkit-gtk drags them in. I have no other need for ruby. 3) Why does webkit-gtk have a "spell" useflag? Why does an html rendering engine need a spellcheck function? Thanks for any insights. (I'm not maximally grumpy, merely slightly grumpy :)
