10 What about the people that _do_ want kedit and not kate?
11 I would like some pre-build configuration stuff. With a question to the
12 user, do you want to configure this package before building it? It would
13 make the Portage tree more flexible than just using USE-variables. I'm
14 not sure if this fits into the Portage system though.
15
16 But in this case it would be something like:
17
18 Do you want to configure KDE-base [y/N]: Y
19 Which editor would you like: [Kate/kedit/all]: <enter>
20 ...
21 Installing KDE-base with the following programs:
22 Editor: Kate
23 ...
24 Is this correct [Y/n]: <enter>
25 Start installing..
26
27 We could have some kind of timeout on the first question so that if you
28 do an automatic build it wouldn't stop at the question if you are not at
29 the computer.

31 What do you think, drobbins?
