Description Eric Brown 2004-04-21 22:00:03 UTC
This is another example of the config-kernel type problem where the user is forced to install small programs he/she might not necessarily want.  

I do not need a small script to help me select an mta, so i do not want net-mail/mailwrapper just to update fcron.  This should be optional and represented in a use flag then right?
Comment 1 Eric Brown 2004-04-21 22:08:53 UTC
btw, mailwrapper is an rdepend of the mta, not fcron.

Yes, there probably should be a USE flag.  That may require some portage 
hacking to properly handle it, however.
Comment 3 Grant Goodyear (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-06-01 18:15:50 UTC
Now implemented.
