I wouldn't be inclined to assume a new user might be using a server |
| 19 |
profile because last time I checked these spit out an ugly warning |
| 20 |
message about "this profile being untested" for EVERY SINGLE package |
| 21 |
emerged. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Eventually - after enabling PORTAGE_ELOG_* and being inundated with |
| 24 |
warning spam for packages which had compiled without problems - I was |
| 25 |
unable to tolerate this behaviour any longer & switched to a desktop |
| 26 |
profile instead. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
So has something changed since I experienced this, or have many other |
| 29 |
people just been ignoring the nuisance of the warning messages? |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
I guess I chose a server profile in the first place because it seemed |
| 32 |
more "correct" for me to do so (seeing as all my machines are |
| 33 |
servers), but since I'm quite happy to put USE="-X -gtk -qt &c" in my |
| 34 |
make.conf I can't see that it makes much difference. |
