Sorry if it sounds otherwise, I have no intention of telling anyone what to do and how, just sharing some idea I had that could possibly satisfy both sides of the argument, and maybe allow to avoid bi-weekly reocurring question. Seeing all those "why can't I compile port XX?" "install xbase" "but I don't want to install X on my firewall/server/whatever" arguments - maybe it would be possible to split xbase into xbase and xlibs packages, with the latter having just some base libraries?
I shut up now. -- viq
