Okay, but they're maintained at the same time. |

Let's see where the extra work could come from: |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
+ changes in build options. okay, have to type some things twice. |
| 15 |
adds 5mins |
| 16 |
+ three packages have to be tested now. today one package has to |
| 17 |
be tested in three variants. is there really more work ? |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
The 3rd package is mostly copy-and-paste, since doesn't actually |
| 20 |
do anything. It's just rdeps based on useflags. Just an multiplexer. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
On the other hand I see some more changes on an split: |
| 23 |
Let's say, in a newer version, there's an interesting improvement |
| 24 |
in the server, but an bad bug in the client. Currently the client |
| 25 |
would block the server, just for buerocrativ reasons. |
| 26 |
After a split, both part-packages can evolve separately. |

But it's very unclear. Ask around in the user list, who knows what |
| 34 |
"minimal" in this special case means (without extra reading the |
| 35 |
documentation). Such useflags should be obvious, but "minimal" isnt. |
