I came across this issue while inspecting the USE flags that my |
2 |
Playstation3 uses. And I couldn't disable some of those (cups, ipv6 and |
3 |
some others) so I looked at why they were forced upon me. Turns out the |
4 |
top-level make.defaults for ppc, x86 and amd64 (and maybe other |
5 |
architectures as well) add cups to the USE flags. I would understand if |
6 |
cups was added somewhere under the desktop/ profiles, but force it upon |
7 |
all users? Similraly, 'ipv6' is added in the 64bit-userland ppc profile, |
8 |
which means forcing it on for everyone who is running 64bit userland on |
9 |
ppc. I at least have no interest or need having ipv6 support and again, |
10 |
I would understand if ipv6 was only added in one of server/ profiles or |
11 |
some place further down the tree. |

(I brought this issue first to #gentoo-powerpc and I was told I should |
14 |
bring it up in releng. Since I can't talk in the IRC channel, I'm |
15 |
sending the mail here.) |
