I noticed this a bit on my main desktop system, and it's not a big deal, I have most of the gnome stuff in there already and I was happy to see some updates to programs. However, I also have a headless server that does nothing but serve apache(+mod_perl +php), squid, samba and postfix (I have USE="-X -gnome -kde") suddenly wants to install things like gnome-print, gnome-libs, etc. Nothing on the server use flag wise has changed since the last upgrade, so this is a bit perturbing, and annoying. Any reason for these changes? Or is there any sort of review process that these go through to see if people need the extra deps? Normally I wouldn't mind, but I am using gentoo on this little server (3G of drives) because of it's (former) ability to strip things down to the bare bones. alan -- Alan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - http://arcterex.net -------------------------------------------------------------------- "There are only 3 real sports: bull-fighting, car racing and mountain climbing.
