I see that the USE flags list is very big today but I don't know if |
2 |
it's growing too fast. So, I may think that someday Gentoo will need |
3 |
some mechanism to facilitate USE flags configuration. |

5 |
I suggest the creation of a "USE flags grouping mechanism" to help the |
6 |
decision making of configuring make.conf when doing initial setup or |
7 |
somewhere else. For example: If we want a web server with Apache, "PHP |
8 |
with all functions" and MySQL we could place one single flag like AMP |
9 |
(Apache+MySQL+PHP) on make.conf, or if we want a desktop machine with |
10 |
full support to imaging and media encoding we could place one single |
11 |
flag like "MULTIMEDIA" on make.conf and voilá. |

I have lots of friends that hates taking hours selecting "packages" |
14 |
during other distributions installations or configuring things like |
15 |
this (that takes very long time to see every option/flag) and I think |
16 |
idea this could bring a very quick Gentoo pre-install. |

What do you think? |
