Here it takes a time variable between 30 seconds and 2 minutes depending on |
| 7 |
the load of the machine. |

It's always things that gets copied, overwriting the extended attributes for |
| 9 |
pax (well I think pax counts only the executables, I'm wondering if paxctl |
| 10 |
would work on .so files, but I don't think so). |

For sure, -xconfig and -settings are not going to be as simple to merge into |
| 13 |
the single ebuild for the paxctl thing above at least, not counting that many |
| 14 |
people (included me) don't really need -settings or -xconfig, and just use |
| 15 |
the default. |

Current situation seems to me one of the most clean possible, way simpler than |
| 18 |
using nvidia's manual installation, and for what I've seen with users, it's |
| 19 |
not _so_ difficult to understand. |

I already said that FreeBSD and Linux modules have _nothing_ in common and |
| 24 |
merging all in one ebuild is going to give me an headache to fix it. I'm not |
| 25 |
going to drop the FreeBSD support tho. |
