24 Currently, I am mainly (there are other apps that I prefer not install
25 in all systems but adding a USE flag for each of them would be excesive)
26 using gnome-light instead of gnome ebuild because I don't want to
27 install vinagre and vino in my systems and, in some of them, I don't
28 install evolution (bacause users that will use affected system use
29 thunderbird instead of evo)
30
31 I have seen that there are already USE flags for these apps in
32 /usr/portage/profiles/use.desc :
33 evo - Adds support for mail-client/evolution
34 vnc - Enable VNC (remote desktop viewer) support
35
36 Then, I seems reasonable (at least for me) use this global USE flags for
37 not forcing people to install evolution and vnc related apps
