Hi, Could one of you devs please add in a few extra USE flags to the general gnome ebuilds. mainly because I'm irritated by all the packages it's trying to install I don't want, or do not depend on for having my gnome environment. The reason I'm requesting the useflags is because I don't want to edit the ebuild everytime I sync my portage tree. packages that concern me are: - epiphany (I hate epiphany and Mozilla. I use firefox by choice) - Evolution, data-server, webcal. (I'm using another mail package) with a simple USE flag these packages could be kept from installing during an emerge. example: USE="noevolution noepiphany" emerge gnome Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Expected Results: USE="noevolution noepiphany" emerge gnome
Why don't you emerge gnome-light instead?
See Leung's comment above. Stop being so irritated, it stops you from being rational.
unsocialised arse detected.
