Subject: [gentoo-dev] X11 dependencies

1 Hi,
2
3 I was wondering, perhaps we should make XFree86 provide virtual/x11,
4 and then make packages that just require x11 depend on
5 virtual/x11. That way, if one day gentoo is supported on platforms
6 that dont use xfree86 (like just the regular X consortium version) we
7 won't have to change a bunch of other stuff. Other packages that
8 require XFree86 extensions (like DRI or whatnot) could depend on
9 Xfree86 specifically. What do you think?

11 Pete
