*** Bug 57556 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** This is a portage issue? Seems like a nice idea. Fedora has their own branding packages... It's really easy to customize fedora, because they have all of their brand specific artwork in just a few packages. I'm even thinking that seporating gentoo artwork into it's own package would be a good thing... and virtual packages like gnome and kde could have it be a part of them... unless -branding was chosesn i'm against a branding USE flag, the reasoning can probably be found on the -dev mailinglist (this has come up several times before of course). Basicly i find it a wasteful situation to create use flags for every minor issue. We at gentoo brand minimally, never intrusive, I just don't see the problem with that. You can change it in the blink of an eye if you are so abhorred of it. Actually i think it's sort of our right to do some branding, we do put the time & effort in it, let us have our -minimal- branding to show for it. I'm closing this like the previous discussions got closed, I'm not going trough them again. |
