i think it's a good idea, changed that in -r6 I do belive it's still a documentation failure. It turns out alot of programs, including KDE's graphics packages, use many components inside the xpdf package. Now, granted, if the non-X11 parts of xpdf were seperated into xpdf-tools, or another ebuild be made so that if motif was not in the USE flags, xpdf-tools would be used and not xpdf proper -- and alot of folks wouldn't be complaining about things being one way or another. In all of this profiles `motif` USE flag is inside make.defaults: default-linux/ppc/1.0 default-linux/ppc/1.2 default-linux/ppc/1.4 default-linux/ppc/1.0_rc default-linux/x86/gcc2 default-linux/x86/xbox default-linux/x86/gcc31 default-linux/x86 default-linux/x86/2004.0 default-linux/x86/2004.2/gcc34/2.6 default-linux/x86/2004.2/gcc34 default-linux/x86/2004.2 default-linux/x86/2004.3 default-linux/ia64/2004.3 default-linux/hppa/2004.2 default-linux/s390 default-linux/amd64/gcc34-2004.2 default-linux/alpha default-linux/alpha/2004.3 default-linux/sparc/sparc32/2004.3 default-linux/sparc/sparc32/2005.0 default-linux/sparc/sparc64/gcc34/2004.3 default-linux/sparc/sparc64 default-linux/sparc/sparc64/2004.2 default-linux/sparc/sparc64/2004.3/alsa default-linux/sparc/sparc64/2004.3 So you almost always will have xpdf installed, you dont want it? Ok, this is why `/etc/portage/package.use` exist or not? :-P See Bug 83317 and Bug 85315 |
