Description Kaiting Chen 2006-10-20 21:46:27 UTC

Maybe we could have a xdmcp use flag to make that optional?
Simply drop the libXdmcp dependency if it's not set in xorg-server, gdm, and maybe other packages.

So:
xdmcp? ( x11-libs/libXdmcp )

should do it.

No, it doesn't work that way. Dependencies need to be deterministic, so this only can be done for packages that have a configure option to _not_ compile against x11-libs/libXdmcp when that flag is not set. If you find some, file a bug for that individual ebuild, not a generic one.

Thanks.
