For who's interested this is the bug where I "insulted" you: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=81065 I simply explained that everything you wrote doesn't have any sense. You just defined our work in this way: "You guys (Gentoo devs) have done a poor job splitting them and to say you arent going to support the "official" builds is, well, I cant really think of the words." Well, you defined our work as "poor" without knowing anything on how the split in a source distro works, without knowing the simplest thing: portage manage the dependency as it's a package manager..., and you didn't read the docs that we suggested in a previous comment. If a program needs kcontrol then kcontrol will be a dep. Probably there are some wrong/missing deps but they can be fixed thanks to users reports. I don't say that the split is the best thing, we only say that probably with kde 4 we won't have the manpower to mantain both the ebuilds type, and a the advantages of the split are a lot, and we are trying to make thair compilation time the same as the monolith ones. (Of course if you only install the programs you need it just lesser, and counting also the update time it becomes much smaller too). All these thing (and more) are explained here: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/kde-split-ebuilds.xml Bye! --- Simone Gotti, -- Email.it, the professional e-mail, gratis per te: http://www.email.it/f Sponsor: Se stai cercando un nuovo PC a prezzi imbattibili, qui potresti trovare quello che fa per te!
