Howdy, |

So I was reading PGO (Planet.Gentoo.org) and Patrick's post |
| 5 |
got thinking. Yep, X was set in make.conf, like I have done |
| 6 |
for a very long time on any gentoo "workstation". Now it may be |
| 7 |
time to rethink this flag. The gist of what I understand is that |
| 8 |
X is set, per profile, if appropriate. On my workstations I usually |
| 9 |
just set the minimimum profile (architecture) like so: |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
# eselect profile list |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
[1] default/linux/amd64/13.0 * |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
On so I run lxde and I experiment with lxqt as the desktop. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
In light of Patricks post on PGO, do I have to now bump up |
| 19 |
the profile to |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
[3] default/linux/amd64/13.0/desktop |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
What if I'm building a hardened base lxde (lxqt) workstation |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
set the profile to |
| 27 |
[19] hardened/linux/amd64 |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
and unset X in the make.conf file? |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
# euse -i X |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
This list does not look like I need to set X any more in make.conf? |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
A side note: it had this line in the output: |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
dev-java/icedtea: Make X buildtime-only depenency. |
| 39 |
!!! Metadata cache not found. You need to run |
| 40 |
!!! 'egencache --repo=java --update' |
| 41 |
!!! to generate metadata for your overlays |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
Very cool that portage picked up this need by "euse -i X". |

All input is welcome, |
