It's much worse than that. It also triggers @preserved-libs, there's a bug |
| 18 |
about it. |

What I would like to do, given infinite time, is |
| 21 |
* introduce a use-flag "bundled-libs", default on now, off later |
| 22 |
* for USE=bundled-libs, fiddle with the library paths so it's 100% clear to |
| 23 |
portage and everything else that vmware needs to load libs from /opt/vmware |
| 24 |
(there's another bug about it) |
| 25 |
* for USE=-bundled-libs, remove all bundled libs during installation if |
| 26 |
possible |

Best is probably #gentoo-virtualization on freenode. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
And yes there's also now a mirror on github. |

Just give me some time please, I still need to sort out LibreOffice 4.4 and |
| 37 |
some other stuff first... |
