Description:   Opened: 2002-05-20 21:46 0000
Gentoo, as one of the most rapidly growing distros, certainly has attracted a   
number of individuals very keen on advertising, and "spreading the word."  As   
such, I propose the addition of a USE variable - "gentoo".  This variable 
would allow for ebuilds to include overt and blatant advertising. 
(Incidentally, I suggest this variable be turned off by default.  :)    

For starters, I have included some updates to the mutt-1.3.28-r1 and    
evolution-1.0.5 ebuilds.  The evolution one consists of a patch and an updated  
ebuild, and the mutt ebuild consists of an extra line in src_install.   These 
add X-Headers to all outgoing e-mail messages that say:  X-OS: Gentoo 
GNU/Linux www.gentoo.org .  I've got these ebuilds running and working on my 
system. 

I had also intended to include a patch for the *very* nice kernel logos at    
http://gentoo.tkdack.com/ , but Seemant says that TaD is working on a kernel    
menu option.   

Again, this is for *overt advertisement* - it's something that, imo, should be 
turned off by default.  :)

this does not seem to be something that excites most of the developers.  sorry
about that.  However, you may want to post your modifications to the gentoo forums.
