Actually, I disagree. |

This would (obviously *g*) mean, that kde-meta cannot be installed |
10 |
(just as you say). This means, that a whole "shit load" of packages |
11 |
would need to be manually installed. And all that, just because you |
12 |
don't want one or two packages? |

Nah. IMO that's the wrong way around. IMO the correct way would |
15 |
be to enhance the kde*-meta packages so, that they support USE flags, |
16 |
which allow the user to select what's to be installed. |

|
18 |
Eg. a "ppp" flag to select that ppp related stuff is to be installed. |
19 |
Or "filesharing" to disable filesharing related stuf (kdenetwork-filesharing |
20 |
and kpf - or whatever). Or if you don't use feeds, why install |
21 |
dcoprss and knewsticker? |

I mean, what's the advantage of the kde*-meta packages over the kde |
24 |
package, when the kde*-meta require just as much "junk", as the |
25 |
kde package does? Hm, really, what's the use of the kde*-meta package |
26 |
anyway? |
