This is one of those situations that's bound to be a little messy. If we |
| 10 |
group packages ala gnome desktop, kde desktop, office utilities, server |
| 11 |
daemons, etc. we're begging to upset users. I'm also thinking that |
| 12 |
presenting them with a portage tree and telling them to go to town might |
| 13 |
be tough too (for new users). I don't know what the right answer is |
| 14 |
here. Personally, I would like to be able to select individual packages |
| 15 |
and have it grey out the dependencies as I do so. |

But that's me. |
