Tend to agree. I don't think we want to create a new profile every time we want to change one of the flags. Some other questionable ones: emboss - Adds support for the European Molecular Biology Open Software Suite firefox - probably OK for what it does now, but not everybody uses it xulrunner - not even used now There will always be some level of variation if you are looking at single flags. What matters isn't coming up with profiles that exactly match all of our users, but rather ones that are good for 80+% of them. As far as ldap goes, if we wanted an "enterprise desktop" profile that might be a good fit for such a configuration. I agree that -ldap isn't really a lightweight desktop so much as a normal one. If you really wanted "lightweight" then you'd probably not be running desktop at all, or the regular desktop vs kde/gnome. The bottom line is that we don't need 47 different profile targets - there will always be a "use" for 1 more. That's why we all run Gentoo - we aren't bound by the decisions made for us by the package maintainers. Rich
