the USE defaults are a bit INSANE... We need to get rid of some of this |
| 2 |
crap... |

./default-linux/x86/2005.0/make.defaults:USE="alsa apm arts avi berkdb |

| 11 |
|
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
Examples include... WHY is "arts" turned on... There's absolutely no |
| 14 |
reason for it. AFAIK, you can even build KDE without it. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
Why are we turning "gnome" on... who says you want to pull in the damn |
| 17 |
desktop? |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
"eds"... very very very specific Gnome app that most people don't want |
| 20 |
support for. If I remember correctly, this was added cause someone was |
| 21 |
too lazy to do the right work around in the ebuild. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
"gtk" and "gtk2", I thought we cleaned up this mess of just 1 USE flag. |
| 24 |
But seriously, why are these on? |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
"kde", uh same reason and Gnome above... |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
"ogg", "oggvorbis", "vorbis"... I thought we cleaned up this mess... |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
"gstreamer"... again Gnome specific. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
"qt"... why? |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
"cups"... who says I want printer support.. "foomaticdb" depends on cups.. |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
"motif"... what a horrible terrible windowing toolkit that needs to just |
| 37 |
be rm -rf'd. |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
"emboss" wow... what a very very crazy specific USE flag... |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
Can we please clean up some of this trash? |
