I'd rather remove the package altogether. So far people demanding support for their 10 different minimal xfce configurations are far outweighing the benefit of having it at all. *** Bug 699734 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** (In reply to Michał Górny from comment #1) > I'd rather remove the package altogether.

With the last sys-auth/polkit update, and xfce4-meta installed, we can not avoid anymore spiderminkey and llvm installation : > xfce4-meta --> thunar-volman --> thunar-1.6[udisks] > --> gnome-base/gvfs[udisks] --> sys-fs/udisks > --> sys-auth/polkit > --> dev-lang/spidermonkey --> sys-devel/llvm Thanks. The "Advanced" tab of Thunar's preferences now has a checkbox to "Enable Volume Management". When the necessary dependencies are missing, it shows a warning. Maybe this makes it more palatable to remove (or make optional) the volume manager. |
