Although outdated, there are still a lot of applications that use it. More importantly, there are a lot of well-tested numerical libraries that exist in fortran that really aren't worth porting to another language, so a lot of stuff in our tree still requires a fortran compiler. (I don't have good statistics on exactly how much of the tree does, however, so if somebody wants to compile some....) Until use-based dependencies arrive, I think it's still required. > -motif - is unmaintained in portage and rather outdated, does not look good. > Should not be default for optional interfaces I believe that flag is mainly there to reduce the "Hey, my xpdf package lacks the xpdf binary" bugs. -g2boojum- -- Grant Goodyear Gentoo Developer [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gentoo.org/~g2boojum GPG Fingerprint: D706 9802 1663 DEF5 81B0 9573 A6DC 7152 E0F6 5B76
