Subject: [gentoo-user] Wayland! Beware of!

Message-ID: <ZvHMItwy1sn16KTu@MAC.fritz.box> (raw)
Hello, Gentoo.
I got a nasty shock earlier on this evening when I was updating my
(still newish) system. Around (perhaps) 70 packages to be updated or
reloaded, several of them big packages. What's going on?
There were lots of qt and kde packages being sucked in. But what stood
out prominently was the wayland USE flag, which appeared to have been
enabled in most of these packages.
What on Earth is going on? I never asked for wayland, and I haven't
received any news items about it in the last few weeks. I know little
about this X substitute, but one thing's vitually certain; that
installing it as emerge intended would lead to a lot of breakage.
So I disabled the wayland USE flag in my make.conf, and the number of
packages to merge went down to 29. I merged them.
I'm hoping my machine is still stable. It would have been nice to have
got a news item about this change. :-(
