The ebuilds are actually simple now, compared to the monolithic |
| 10 |
xorg-6.7/6.8 ebuilds, because a lot of the stuff is module-specific and |
| 11 |
therefore is only included in a couple of the ebuilds, so they all don't |
| 12 |
occur in the same ebuild as they did pre-modular! Never-the-less, I can |
| 13 |
certainly see your point! =8^) |

xorg-server and a couple of the other modules are in fact in my overlay |
| 16 |
(the cited filterflags example applying to -fweb, which is filtered for |
| 17 |
everyone in xorg-server, altho the issue apparently doesn't affect amd64 |
| 18 |
at all based on my experience and those of others when I asked on this |
| 19 |
list some months ago), but I make only a couple very specific |
| 20 |
modifications to them, and I was /very/ glad to see xorg go modular, so I |
| 21 |
didn't have to track all the /other/ changes every release and figure out |
| 22 |
if they affected the couple of changes I was making or not. |

I think you are correct. |
