Sorry for not being clearer. I meant USE flags in the -meta ebuilds, to disable undesired apps like kppp. Sort of like: DEPEND=" kde-base/this-app !nokppp? ( kde-base/kppp ) kde-base/that-app " I use a no* flag as the default should be to install everything except the stuff the user doesn't want. Expecting user to enable a bunch of flags to get the equivalent of an upstream ebuild is a bit much :-) > My focus is on the meta ebuilds.
