1 Hi,
2
3 so the thread is getting a bit long, I will just summarize the status
4
5 -apm -foomaticdb -imlib -motif -xmms
6
7 Those are more or less without objections
8
9 -fortran - I am dropping this request, seems fortran is meant to be default
10
11 -oss - apparently people are fighting this one. Flameeyes also brought up in
12 IRC that this can cause arts being selected as a backend instead of oss,
13 which is certainly not desirable. Also some packages might not give sound
14 at all without the oss useflag. All packages with IUSE=oss need to be
15 checked for this and fixed properly. Although some people think it is
16 USEflagspam I am voting for an ossemu use flag here. If you want to help
17 with this effort, we need to create a tracker bug and check [1]
18 71 packages :)
19
20 Also there came up a few more suggestions:
21
22 -mikmod - This came from wolf31o2 and I do not like it. mikmod is used in
23 many games and I think it gives people less hassle to have it as default.
24 The intention of this request is to make use-setting easier, not harder.
25 Please do not remove this flag.
26
27 -gtk2 - This has been brought up by carlo. And it makes sense although not
28 in the 2006.1 profile. This needs to happen in all profiles and can only
29 happen once all those flags have been removed from ebuilds. So, sorry, but
30 this needs more work and cannot be put in the same request. If you want to
31 help for this, please have a look at [2]
