Never-the-less, I can certainly see your point! =8^) xorg-server and a couple of the other modules are in fact in my overlay (the cited filterflags example applying to -fweb, which is filtered for everyone in xorg-server, altho the issue apparently doesn't affect amd64 at all based on my experience and those of others when I asked on this list some months ago), but I make only a couple very specific modifications to them, and I was /very/ glad to see xorg go modular, so I didn't have to track all the /other/ changes every release and figure out if they affected the couple of changes I was making or not. > I think the behaviour I'm seeing may be related to > http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=109922 I think you are correct. -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
