Description Joshua Jackson (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-07-11 03:14:00 UTC
Slit is the dockable app holder for fluxbox inherited from blackbox (I'm sure we
all know this but for reference). Some might not have a need for said feature
and the kind developers of fluxbox allow you to pass the --disable-slit option
to the configure options, to eliminate it entirely from being built.

I'm proposing that a slit use flag should be added to future ebuilds so people
who have no use for it, and shrink it down to nothing anyways are allowed to
build it without said support. Now it can be done with
EXTRA_ECONF="--disable-slit" emerge fluxbox..but that's just a pain.

proposed patch to follow

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.apply patch.
2.emerge app with +slit or -slit
3.enjoy your slit or lack of slit

The slit code is so tiny that this is kind of silly.  Closing as WONTFIX.
