So Thomáš posted today [1] that the new LibreOffice 4 is going to _need_ |
| 2 |
an LDAP provider in the future because they are not going to keep it |
| 3 |
optional as it is now. Right now, the only provider we have in portage |
| 4 |
(as far as me and him can tell) is openldap (although mozldap also exists). |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
This made me cringe for a moment because I really don't want to have the |
| 7 |
OpenLDAP server installed on my laptops, but then I realize that there |
| 8 |
_is_ a minimal USE flag that only installs the library. But of course, |
| 9 |
that's not the default. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
Now one could probably argue that we should replace minimal with a |
| 12 |
server USE flag enabled by default, that's a different story I guess. In |
| 13 |
the mean time, I would suggest that, since the desktop profiles already |
| 14 |
have USE=ldap enabled, we should default on the same profiles to |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
net-nds/openldap minimal |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
to make sure that the default desktop users don't get a copy of openldap |
| 19 |
(server) installed. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
To make this cleaner as well, I fixed the ebuild so that with |
| 22 |
USE=minimal it doesn't install some of the paths that are used by the |
| 23 |
server, or depend on packages that the client libs don't need. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
So, should we change the profiles' defaults? |
