None of those flags are forced on you. Just negate them in USE in your
make.conf
Yeah, sorry about that. I wrote that at a time where I thought make.conf
couldn't override make.defaults. Was probably some problem with emerge
caching the flags, as it started working properly after a few reboots.
But still, why is cups added in the very basic profiles? I'm not
debating the usefulness of printing support in desktop computers, I'm
just surprised you found cups useful enough to enable it for _all_
profiles, regardless whether it's server or desktop.
Why cups, why not any of the other dozens use flags? Who did decide that
cups is worthy enough and the others aren't?
