Sometimes it is not correctly implemented (or its description |
| 10 |
is not exact). For example, if you emerge mysql with minimal-flag, |
| 11 |
you will get just mysql-client, not server. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
But mysql is described as "A fast, multi-threaded, multi-user SQL |
| 14 |
database server" in gentoo package database. And server functionality |
| 15 |
can not be imho considered as "some unnecessary feature" for any |
| 16 |
server-software (without that it is not server anymore, is it?)... |

I do have "minimal" in my global USE flags, but it happened |
| 19 |
to me a few times that I had problems because of it and I had |
| 20 |
to put "-minimal" for some packages (in packages.use)... |
