I'd like comments on splitting the tcltk USE flag into 'tcl' and 'tk' |
| 2 |
USE flags. |
| 3 |
|
| 4 |
My primary motivation for this is that I am putting together many more |
| 5 |
servers lately, and I need tcl on them, but I don't want X there. |
| 6 |
doing 'USE=tcltk emerge python' pulls in xfree due to |
| 7 |
tcltk? ( ...tk... ) in the python ebuild. |
| 8 |

Advantages: |
| 10 |
1. More accurately reflects what a package uses, and allows for better |
| 11 |
customization. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
Disadvantages: |
| 14 |
2. Changing existing ebuilds to the new style |
| 15 |
3. Users with tcltk have to update their USE flags. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
I am more than willing to bear the brunt of the work of updating the |
| 18 |
ebuilds if there are no objections to this. |
