On =D7=A6=D7=D4=CF=D2=CF=CB 20 =CC=C9=D3=D4=CF=D0=C1=C4 2007, Yuri Pankov w=
rote:
=3D New xorg-server utilizes sysutils/hal for hardware autodetection, glib2=
0=20
=3D and cdrecord are dependencies of hal (can be turned off using=20
=3D WITHOUT_HAL). It also needs dbus, polkit and so on. Not sure about gtk.

Thanks, Yuri. But I could trace the dependencies myself. My point was,=20
something is wrong if an unrelated utility such as cdrecord and a large (an=
d=20
frequently changing) library such as glib are both /required/ to build the=

X-server.

Maybe, the WITHOUT_HAL knob should be more visible... Maybe, it should not=
=20
require cdrecord by default.

I don't have a solution -- I'm just pointing out a problem...
