Of course. But then, do these ati/savage drivers really need the X sources? |
16 |
(i.e. not just the installable headers). In any case, if we have USE flags |
17 |
for ATI/savage as suggested in the orig. post, we might as well have one for |
18 |
nvidia. |

BTW: what's the policy for creating new USE keywords? There's an awful lot |
21 |
already, and it seems we might create one for every second package. There are |
22 |
always package interdependencies. LyX can make use of some 20 packages, but |
23 |
that's no reason for having a USE keyword for each of them! Maybe we should |
24 |
have a setting "USE_ALL" that would always build all possible dependencies of |
25 |
which a package can make use. This could be useful for testing etc. |
