No. That was just a way of pointing out that other revision control systems do not have such complex build dependencies.
*cough* % export USE="doc gtk iconv perl subversion bash-completion cgi curl cvs emacs mozsha1 ppcsha1 threads tk vim-syntax webdav xinetd" % emerge git --emptytree -p |wc -l 381 % export USE="-doc gtk iconv perl subversion bash-completion cgi curl cvs emacs mozsha1 ppcsha1 threads tk vim-syntax webdav xinetd" % emerge git --emptytree -p |wc -l 329 % export USE="-doc -gtk -iconv -perl -subversion -bash-completion -cgi -curl -cvs -emacs -mozsha1 -ppcsha1 -threads -tk -vim-syntax -webdav -xinetd" emerge git --emptytree -p |wc -l % emerge git --emptytree -p |wc -l 57 % USE=doc emerge darcs --emptytree -p | wc -l 329 (that's mostly because stuff like latex pulls the whole of x11 and gtk with my current settings... I can't be arsed to figure all of that out right now) % USE=-doc emerge darcs --emptytree -p | wc -l 79 Now you can say that "A severely crippled version of git has less source dependencies", but don't ever claim that the build dependencies are less _complex_. 17 package-specific use flags are rather extreme. -- (c) this sig last receiving data processing entity.
