Well mysql uses the minimal flag to only build client part. There has been |
| 8 |
some discussion about this, as the minimal flag is actually for: |
| 9 |
minimal - Install a very minimal build (disables, for example, plugins, |
| 10 |
fonts, most drivers, non-critical features) |
| 11 |
and this is mis-use of the flag. When it was first discussed iirc it was |
| 12 |
only supposed to be a temporary thing. There has seemed to be support from |
| 13 |
devs and users for client and server flags. The following all use the |
| 14 |
server flag locally: |
| 15 |
dev-ruby/rubygems, dev-util/cvs, games-strategy/wesnoth, net-misc/tightvnc |
| 16 |
net-misc/vnc, sci-astronomy/setiathome, sci-mathematics/yacas, |
| 17 |
sci-misc/boinc, sys-cluster/torque |
| 18 |
Hmm, I didn't know that cvs needed the server flag :D |
| 19 |
As a user I think the flags make sense as global options; although only |
| 20 |
net-misc/bird uses client atm, the distinction would make sense for eg |
| 21 |
mySQL, LDAP, samba and a whole host of pkgs. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
I don't know how it would work technically, how difficult it would be, or |
| 24 |
indeed if anyone is prepared to do the work, besides maybe some of the |
| 25 |
users. |
