o do the same
thing that *one* single USE flag can do is a nonsense *to me*.
I am already hearing all the new (and old) users asking what the damn
difference between the flag and the profile is. It's a cool way to create
extra traffic and confusion for absolutely no benefit. But hey, maybe it's
just that my old brain can't cope with the coolness :)

where two simple USE flags suffice? I don't think it's even more elegant,
and in the worst case, it makes the things uselessly complicated when you
want to use both desktops.
We could also add an "image" subprofile, for those wanting USE="jpeg svg
png tiff" etc. Or an "fb" profile, for those only wanting USE="-X
directfb". It's a nonsense, I know. The desktop subprofiles are also a
nonsense to me :p
Just my opinion of course :)

em" set is about in first place. We
could argue if creating a new category would be any good or not, that's a
different issue. But there's already a list of packages that's considered
critical for a Gentoo system. That's what "system" is, and you will get a
big red waning when trying to uninstall one package belonging to this
category.

That's not the usual case. In Gentoo we have a serious policy of not
marking as stable things until it has passed one month without any serious
bug report about it. And you are proposing t
still be a very special case because python is a core piece in this
OS, and not on any other.

"Possible" doesn't equal to "real". Most software won't work with 3.1,
TODAY.

Yep. All comes down to the same, lack of man power I think.

Most Gentoo users will have no problem to use overlays as they need
them. If we had more developers we could as maintain more packages,
as simple as that.
Besides that, if you want some new version, you are free to use
bugs.gentoo.org to submit a bug, version bump, or whatever.

Not really. I use just a couple of qt3/kde3 programs, and not that much.
All I just wanted is to shake this topic a bit to hear what people and
developers think about this.
An interesting thread. Thanks for all the insight.

Whether you pick cdda, cdaudio or audiocd is completely unimportant
to me, the other two functionalities shouldn't have anything to do
with this.
Let's concentrate on the original purpose of the thread: choose what flag
is the right one to designate "audio cd support", and forget the rest of
creative ideas.

I already explained in my other posts that this is not about
segregating the support. It is about handling something that's
real, it doesn't matter if you like it or not: *it's real*,
people do post there. The world is as it is. That's another
thing that I won't repeat again because this is going round
in circles.
This will have exactly zero negative effect on the Gentoo forum,
eventually users on those forum(s) will use forums.gentoo.org
directed to here by me.
Comments are always welcome, but we are saying the same thing
again and again ad infinitum so I'll leave it at that unless
new arguments appear in scene.

ays, and I haven't found any more
official doc on it. Quoting it:
"Any dev may create a new project just by creating a new page (or, more
realistically, directory and page) in gentoo/xml/htdocs/proj/en and
sending a Request For Comments (RFC) e-mail to gentoo-dev."
So, these are the steps I've followed. As said, I am new to this
stuff.

ither.
In the same lines, the fact that I support people at LQ is not
going to change the kind of support nor the quality of the support
that I give on our own forums.

However all the reasoning has already been exposed on this thread.
The rest is discussion on how to go about forming the project, and
some other technical speech.

I was aware that it's a restricted forum, but somehow I think I remember
that devs could post there. Obviously, I was either hallucinating or
maybe some of them can, and some of them can't.
That was all the confusion for which I apologize. :)

I've checked it lots of times, and it's there. It's in the "Moderators"
subforum, and it's near to the top of the list on that subforum so if
you can access that subforum you shouldn't have a problem finding it,
since linuxquestions is in the title.
