|As someone else mentioned, people might put "@KDE -@GNOME" and wonder |
| 29 |
why X is |
| 30 |
|missing... However, I would agree that -@GROUP can be useful and another |
| 31 |
|workaround for the problem should be provided... Perhaps USE |
| 32 |
dependencies (eg |
| 33 |
|USE=kde relies on USE=X for most archs) could solve this (and also take |
| 34 |
care |
| 35 |
|of the grouping issue altogether), but that would add another level of |
| 36 |
|complexity. |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
I have to agree on Kurt and as having -@KDE and -@GNOME should imply |
| 39 |
that X isn't installed, there are other window managers who can be used |
| 40 |
also (in this example). If we do now -kde and -gnome, that wouldn't |
| 41 |
imply that X won't be installed right? |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
I think that people should have the option to do -@GROUP. |
