Very vague. |
| 10 |
The user has to take a deep look into the ebuilt and the binary |
| 11 |
package to see what's actually inside. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
And if you just use this one flag for the whole monolithic |
| 14 |
Xorg tree, you'll loose the ability to install just what's needed. |
| 15 |
There has to be an frontline somewhere, and its only *one* line. |
| 16 |
So you have to make a decision, where it actually is. |
| 17 |
No matter where you define it, in most situations you will have |
| 18 |
to install much much more than really necessary. Either the minimal |
| 19 |
variant is too big that it doesn't save much, or it is too small |
| 20 |
that you'll need the whole thing. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
I think, modularized Xorg, as we have today, is far much better |
| 23 |
than the old monolithic thing. |
