OpenBSD added FLAVORS and MULTI_PACKAGES to *BSD ports to solve such "problems". http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=bsd.port.mk > Under Gentoo, all of those various optional features would be represented > by one of Gentoo's various USE flags, and those which were desired would > be included. Those which were not would not be. But, if one emerges a binary package on Gentoo that was built on another machine (that have different USE settings), will it know what packages the binary package depends on? -- <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ Eug-LUG mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.efn.org/cgi-bin/listinfo/eug-lug
