Would please add a profile combine desktop with systemd: [*] default/linux/amd64/13.0/desktop/systemd I install plasma/systemd in my laptop, excellent! I have installed gentoo on a old machine, using systemd and xfce4. I chose systemd profile, turn out that lots of use flags are missing for desktop enviroment head of current profiles: [1] default/linux/amd64/13.0 [2] default/linux/amd64/13.0/selinux [3] default/linux/amd64/13.0/desktop [4] default/linux/amd64/13.0/desktop/gnome [5] default/linux/amd64/13.0/desktop/gnome/systemd [6] default/linux/amd64/13.0/desktop/kde [7] default/linux/amd64/13.0/desktop/kde/systemd [8] default/linux/amd64/13.0/desktop/plasma [9] default/linux/amd64/13.0/desktop/plasma/systemd * [10] default/linux/amd64/13.0/developer [11] default/linux/amd64/13.0/no-multilib [12] default/linux/amd64/13.0/systemd Gentoo is about choices, adding the profile, for easily choosing. Thanks!
I have run into the same problem today.. (thus, this bug is still valid)
I've run into this today as well. I'd like to use a systemd desktop, but not gnome. Something like: default/linux/amd64/17.1/desktop/systemd Nearest option is: default/linux/amd64/17.1/desktop/gnome/systemd which includes a lot of gnome cruft.
...or we could finally stop creating useless profiles, remove existing systemd profiles and teach people that they can set USE=systemd without magical tooling.

If that is all the systemd profile does, then why do we have 61 lines of config in targets/systemd? Granted, a few things in there are more relevant for building stages and not as applicable to installed systems, but the bulk seems to be tweaks so that users don't keep running into the same bugs with misc packages, and to aid dependency resolution...
This is an ugly workaround (compared to using a dedicated desktop profile) but if you only care about the desktop useflags you can do what I did and create a symlink pointing to `/var/db/repos/gentoo/profiles/targets/desktop/package.use`. I have a symlink at `/etc/portage/package.use/@desktop` pointing to `/var/db/repos/gentoo/profiles/targets/desktop/package.use` which gets merged with all of the other files/folders in `/etc/portage/package.use`.
Thanks, that ugly hack worked for me.
