Description Tomasz Mloduchowski 2005-02-28 18:14:59 UTC

I'm emerging xorg for a server, and I can't find a way to skip everything except of X libraries. Even with -opengl -minimal lots of stuff gets installed
A "headless" option, and "fontless" will be greatly appreciated

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge xorg-x11

Actual Results:  
Way too much time and space consumed.

Expected Results:  
USE="headless" emerge xorg-x11 
just lib* , *.h and man pages installed

Comment 1 Tomasz Mloduchowski 2005-02-28 18:17:18 UTC

Actually, splitting the xorg to several separate ebuilds seems like a good idea to me.
like xorg-x11-xlibs, xorg-x11-display, xorg-x11-fonts etc

Great, I'll be happy to commit these split-up ebuilds once you've got them ready.
