I was thinking about this which is sort of covered in my "USE database? |
| 27 |
" post. I'm not so sure that is should be a dependency, but more of a |
| 28 |
"suggested" package. Or maybe add a JRE package. The JDK can be a lot to |
| 29 |
download if you don't really need it. One of the suggestions in my |
| 30 |
aforementioned post was to have a way to publish optional USE packages |
| 31 |
in an ebuild file and then call emerge with a "--satisfyuse" flag (which |
| 32 |
might not be so elegant if there are many, possibly conflicting*, USE |
| 33 |
options) to install the "optional" package(s). This way it is not a |
| 34 |
dependency per say, but more of feature or option that can add |
| 35 |
functionality. |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
It may be of benefit to make the definition of what a USE variable is |
| 38 |
more clear. If USE="..., java, ..." am I, as an administrator |
| 39 |
responsible for installing the jdk, or is the first package that can |
| 40 |
make use of the java USE option responsible for the installation when it |
| 41 |
discovers that I want Java functionality? |

I just switched over from Debian where I already had two profiles. When |
| 53 |
Mozilla starts up and detects this it automatically presents the profile |
| 54 |
manager. In other words, I simply call /usr/bin/mozilla. |

* To add to my "USE database?" post, a "conflicts" field might not be a |
| 66 |
bad idea either. |
