9 X is merged because of the "hard" dependency on tk in the DEPENDS. This
10 should be optional through a use. There should be a conditional X
11 dependency also for the X based utils such as xmonisdn.
12
13 The vbox utility seems to only depend on tcl. We really need to split
14 the "tcl-tk" USE variable into a "tcl" and "tk" USE variable to easily
15 handle situations such as this in the ebuild as there are other packages
16 that can be built conditionally against tcl and/or tk. Does anyone have
17 objections to splitting the "tcl-tk" USE?
18
19 I'm attempting to throw together an new isdn-utils ebuild with updated
20 syntax and conditional DEPENDS and configuration based on USE
21 variables. I would need help from isdn users and from a system
22 developer (need to configure netup and netdown commands).
23
24 NOTE: This package has a configuration just like the linux kernel. You
25 can already 'ebuild isdn-utils unpack', cd to ${S} and run 'make config'
26 to go through an interactive ncurses configuration (or alternatively,
27 just edit the .config file in ${S} manually with your favorite editor),
28 then continue with 'ebuild isdn-utils compile'; 'ebuild isdn-utils
29 install'; 'ebuild isdn-utils qmerge'
30
31 I will a commit a new isdn-utils ebuild and package mask it for testing
32 if someone doesn't beat me to it (like a motivated isdn user :)

34 Regards,
