Hi, so the thread is getting a bit long, I will just summarize the status
-apm -foomaticdb -imlib -motif -xmms Those are more or less without objections -fortran - I am dropping this request, seems fortran is meant to be default -oss - apparently people are fighting this one. Flameeyes also brought up in IRC that this can cause arts being selected as a backend instead of oss, which is certainly not desirable. Also some packages might not give sound at all without the oss useflag. All packages with IUSE=oss need to be checked for this and fixed properly. Although some people think it is USEflagspam I am voting for an ossemu use flag here. If you want to help with this effort, we need to create a tracker bug and check [1] 71 packages :) Also there came up a few more suggestions: -mikmod - This came from wolf31o2 and I do not like it. mikmod is used in many games and I think it gives people less hassle to have it as default. The intention of this request is to make use-setting easier, not harder. Please do not remove this flag. -gtk2 - This has been brought up by carlo. And it makes sense although not in the 2006.1 profile. This needs to happen in all profiles and can only happen once all those flags have been removed from ebuilds. So, sorry, but this needs more work and cannot be put in the same request. If you want to help for this, please have a look at [2] [1] http://gentoo-portage.com/Search?search=&use=oss [2] https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1065602 - Stefan -- [email protected] mailing list
