Not what I asked. I'm talking about what an user can expect to get. |
| 14 |
You don't expect every user to look trough each ebuilt, seriously ? |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
And, in case of Xorg, the individual needs may very deeply. |
| 17 |
Some applications need just Xlib, some Xaw, others maybe some |
| 18 |
extensions, etc. |

If you would put evrything in one monolithic package you would, |
| 21 |
in the end, need one useflag per library. Or you loose the ability |
| 22 |
to build the system for your special needs. Most times you'll get |
| 23 |
much, much stuff you won't ever need. Is this compatible with |
| 24 |
the gentoo philosphy ? |
