Hello All, |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
kdeedu-3.4 has added support for scripting the kig geometry application through python, |
| 7 |
if you have sys-libs/boost installed. It is currently set if USE=python, which is |
| 8 |
a default USE and a dangerous one to disable. |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
Boost does not play nice with the common Unix build processes. It creates its own |
| 11 |
replacement for auoconf and make, and it won't compile with -j>1. This alone is |
| 12 |
enough to make someone to be weary about it, but add to that that it is a huge c++ |
| 13 |
library that you more than likely don't want, and that it is installed by default |
| 14 |
for functionaliy that you more than likely don't want... Add to that that it takes |
| 15 |
275 megs of space installed... |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
I'd like to propose that we change it from the gloabl USE=python to something like |
| 18 |
a local USE=scripting. |
