Description Ben Kohler gentoo-dev

2017-10-24 13:45:40 UTC

A lot of people like to install gnome-terminal on non-gnome desktops but with current defaults IUSE="+gnome-shell +nautilus", it pulls a whole lot of gnome-specific (not just some libs, but gnome-control-center, gdm, gnome-desktop, etc) deps and also a switch to systemd.

Could we move those default flags into profiles/targets/desktop/gnome/package.use for this package?  Or if you want even more coverage, a case could be made for adding both those flags to profiles/targets/desktop/gnome/make.defaults USE.

Thanks for your consideration.

Makes sense, though not sure which

    x11-terms/gnome-terminal: Do not enable by default nautilus and gnome-shell
    
    As those are more interesting for gnome users, that will likely use gnome
    profiles, where those USE flags are default enabled on.
