9 I am pleased to announce I've just finished porting my system to modular
10 X. My system now does a clean emerge -Dp world with modular X installed
11 and no virtual/x11.

13 Now it would be great if some more of you could do the same with your
14 systems. (Of course, remember to check before committing.) I've seen
15 great effort going into this from other people in the past couple of
16 weeks as well (and earlier!).

18 The main mistake I've seen while going through packages other people
19 have ported is redundant dependencies. For example, libXt RDEPENDs on
20 libSM and libICE so we don't need to also include them. I use an emerge
21 - -ep $foo | grep lib[SIX] to check for possibly redundant dependencies.

23 Keep up the good work!

25 Thanks,
