-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 unpopular, unwanted opinion:
just have users of a *source based distro* where the emphasis is *choice* actually choose what they want? What is the big deal with the way REQUIRED_USE works now? "Users have to do something". You always have to do something when you run source-based distros. If they don't want to do something, don't run a distro that is source-based. Gentoo being about choice necessitates knowledge about the choices you make before you make them. It will never be truly "user friendly" for the noob set. And that's fine, and that's where "friendly" forks like Sabayon and CoreOS and Adélie come in . I don't really want to see Portage's code base bloated with even another solver that is poorly defined (and worse, this one would make it in to PMS) just because users want to be lazy and Gentoo devs want to enable laziness. For the SSL/provider thing, I suggest just doing a DEPEND=ssl? ( virtual/ssl ) where that is provided by openssl or libressl. If a package doesn't support both, just DEPEND=ssl? ( whichever one it does support ). [I actually suggested this some time ago, but was ignored there, too.] But hey, I'm not a Gentoo dev, so I really don't have a voice here. :) - --arw - -- A.
