It seems quite a few packages are using the 'minimal' USE flag now: |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
app-admin/webmin:webmin-minimal - Install the minimal webmin |
| 4 |
distribution |
| 5 |
app-editors/vim:minimal - Build vim with minimal features, |
| 6 |
resulting in a ~430K binary |
| 7 |
net-analyzer/net-snmp:minimal - Installs only the libs/daemons needed to |
| 8 |
be snmp monitored |
| 9 |
net-www/drupal:minimal- Disables installing the additional plugins |
| 10 |
sys-apps/iproute2:minimal - Builds and installs only the traffic control |
| 11 |
util. |
| 12 |
x11-base/xorg-x11:minimal - Build without fonts, clients and some other |
| 13 |
things |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
Probably worth making it a global USE flag. How's the following sound |
| 16 |
for a description? |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
minimal - Install a very minimal build (disables, for example, plugins, |
| 19 |
fonts, non-critical features) |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
For anyone else planning to use this flag, please only use it if it's a |
| 22 |
realllllly minimal build. The original package to use this was vim, and |
| 23 |
vim's minimal build turns off syntax highlighting, visual mode, multiple |
| 24 |
window support, proper terminal support, multibyte characters, |
| 25 |
completion, diff support, folding and a whole load of other stuff that I |
| 26 |
can't think of off the top of my head. |
