You don't just mess with USE flags (or the build process) for performance - e.g. you may not want to have x support in emacs, but the debian emacs package has them and thus pulls in xlibs etc. etc. Pulling the emacs source, the build-deps and modifying debian/rules would allow you to build it w/o X, but it wouldn't modify the package dependencies and the build-deps I think would pull in various X things. -- Jon Dowland [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
