Then we better should remove it - just to be sure ;-) BTW: it seems both nspr and nss are not really standalone packages, but instead snippets from CVS which requires much manual interaction (which is done by the ebuild). IMHO it would be worth investing some time into making both nspr and nss standalone packages with clean pkg-config, etc. Although I dislike autotools for some reasons (ie. crosscompiling is very ugly) we could use it until something better is available (in fact I'm working on my build tool ...). Something Xorg-modular ;-) Many distros would benefit from that. cu -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- Enrico Weigelt == metux IT service - http://www.metux.de/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please visit the OpenSource QM Taskforce: http://wiki.metux.de/public/OpenSource_QM_Taskforce Patches / Fixes for a lot dozens of packages in dozens of versions: http://patches.metux.de/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
