Description Jimmy Karlsson 2004-02-29 08:29:02 UTC 
The ebuild(s) gnome-base/gnome-light* is dep. on gdm. GDM is not QUOTE'bare minimum of libs/apps needed' and needs to be removed from the ebuild(s).

I'm a bit undecided. A login manager is pretty basic these days. Devs chime in ?
Comment 2 Spider (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-03-01 09:58:12 UTC 
hmm, Personally I never use the login manager, preferring to have all my terminals in text-mode only.

So for me, I would well scrap gdm from the -light meta
Comment 3 foser (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-05-30 14:16:10 UTC 
how does gdm relate to text mode only terminals (?)

anyway, reasonable request. gdm got removed from gnome-light-2.6 . We'll see how it turns out.
