This is a nice bandaid, and sure, it "solves" the immediate issue... |
| 7 |
but it doesn't actually solve the actual issue: when packages |
| 8 |
optionally install unwanted bloat, we make them an option via a USE |
| 9 |
flag. In this case, especially, since systemd isn't even the default |
| 10 |
(nor officially supported, whatever that amounts to), users certainly |
| 11 |
should not have to manually add an install mask to make portage do |
| 12 |
what it already should do. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
Besides, as systemd gains momentum, we can probably expect that |
| 15 |
various pieces of software will have options to enable a systemd mode |
| 16 |
or a systemd build, or what have you, and then in this case, a global |
| 17 |
USE flag becomes even more imperative. |
