You would also need net-misc/dhcp-common then to stop client and server installing the same required libraries and headers. In this instance, keeping it in one ebuild outweights the advantage of a split ebuild in my eyes. > This way, if something needs the server, they depend on dhcp-server. > If something needs the client, it depends on dhcp-client.

I doubt any package will ever depend on a dhcp server as such so that helps the one ebuild argument. I think I'll keep it as it now is - minimal use flag stops server installation. -- Roy Marples <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Gentoo/Linux Developer (baselayout, networking) -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
