I'm sorry, but what's wrong with using USE flags? |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
I mean, some people have already been using USE="-*" because they don't |
| 13 |
want portage to emerge something they don't want (of course, doing so ends |
| 14 |
up in lots of teeth-gnashing, but that's beside the point). |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
I myself perused for whatever USE flags there is and manually disable |
| 17 |
everything I don't want to get installed. Like, USE="-docs -examples" |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
So why not specify one or more additional USE flags which are by default |
| 20 |
enabled, e.g., "openrc" and "systemd"; user not disabling them will get the |
| 21 |
whole enchiladas. Yes, users disabling both of them (e.g., "-*") will end |
| 22 |
up with a totally borked system, but that's the price one pays for |
| 23 |
specifying "-*", and if a News item is pushed waay before we implement |
| 24 |
these init-system-related flags, there should be much fewer caught |
| 25 |
unaware... |
