Just to make sure I understand, you're suggesting a new profile that |
| 8 |
removes the absolutely pointless xfree line in the packages file |
| 9 |
(pointless because it's not a system file and we haven't had any xfree |
| 10 |
ebuilds in portage that fail to satisfy the requirement since probably |
| 11 |
the 1.2 days) and change the default x11 virtual to point to xorg-x11? |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
It's not really clear to me that a new profile needs to be created every |
| 14 |
time a default virtual changes. My reasoning is that any user who |
| 15 |
already has something installed that satisfies that virtual will see |
| 16 |
absolutely no difference with the new profile. With X, that would be the |
| 17 |
vast majority of our users, who then might well be more confused |
| 18 |
that using the new profile does _not_ cause them to upgrade to xorg-x11. |
