Hi, In a profile's default USE flags I'd prefer to see only those enabled, that do not pull in more dependencies (to download) then found in 'system' anyway. Samples of what I mean: 'python': We cannot do anything without python: keep it enabled. 'zlib': Even if zlib is not USEd, it is part of 'system': keep enabled. 'berkdb': If not USEd, sys-libs/db is not needed: disable by default. 'unicode': does not pull in anything, but IMO is state of the art ? For 'fortran', this pulls in dev-libs/gmp and dev-libs/mpfr, so I'd like to see it disabled by default. As a result, I'd say to have these use flags (on linux) as default: ncurses: required by bash python: required by portage ssl: required by openssh (pulled in by virtual/ssh on linux) readline: required by baselayoyt-prefix (why?) zlib: required by openssh unicode: nice to have without additional dependencies more ?
