Efforts might be best spent on the modular xorg ebuilds, as I'm sure |
22 |
the gentoo xorg maintainers will want to ditch the monolithic ebuilds |
23 |
at some point down the road...although there might be too much voodoo |
24 |
in getting XDarwin.app etc. installed properly for the gentoo xorg |
25 |
maintainers to stomach, so perhaps xorg-darwin is a possibility... |

Not sure what gave you that idea...its the only profile for OS X I |
38 |
find useful :p I know a few others are using it as well. Its |
39 |
basically the proving ground for the portage base-system packages. |
40 |
Its also whats used for Darwin development, as building Darwin system |
41 |
packages requires a heavily modified OS X environment. I don't plan |
42 |
on deprecating it at all, if you feel strongly otherwise, maybe you |
43 |
should split the profiles up (again) and let the collision-protect |
44 |
profiles that install packages to / (non-prefixed) live in profiles/ |
45 |
default-macos and leave profiles/default-darwin for, well, darwin. |
