Finally I am back. I switched to Parabola while I was gone. I've had a couple
of very minor issues with it, which I have mostly managed to work out. Aside
from VLC, everything works perfectly. (I prefer smplayer anyway.) Parabola
has MANY very nice perks and runs faster than Gentoo hardened does. I did
install a couple of apps from Arch's AUR, which were nomacs and qbittorrent.
Since they are both under the GPL, the 'your-freedom' app had no complaints.
I installed Parabola over my normal Gentoo install, but haven't wiped the
hardened install yet. I am wondering if I might be able to create an overlay
to build some of these totally free changes into Gentoo. On the other hand,
Gentoo's mplayer is insisting I make a license exception for unrar, which has
gotten me to the point where I am ready to ditch Gentoo completely.
Anyway, to get back on the real topic here, would it be best to continue this
conversation on the devel list? I can't pick back up with this just yet. I
need to get Toutatis on my third hard drive, because I really don't care to
unzip kdelibs source code in a virtual machine again. It will be much, much
easier for me to mess with this with Toutatis on it's own drive.
Let me know if it's best to continue the conversation here in these forums or
to move it over to the devel list, which I've already joined.
