Installing Cinammon... With entire GNOME desktop?

[jorgicio]

Hi!

 

Yesterday, I tried to install Cinnamon, and also added the mix-in for that. I noticed that includes the USE-flag "gnome" globally. However, when I want to do the emerge -NDvau @world, It also wants to install the entire GNOME desktop: the session, Nautilus, and lots of other components. And Cinnamon is, supossedly, independent from GNOME since the 2.0 release, but I noticed it's not so.

 

This is my make.conf.

# built this stage.
# Please consult /usr/share/portage/config/make.conf.example for a more
# detailed example.

If it can be fixed, it'd be good. Thanks.

mate is gnome2, cinnamon is gnome3 flavor, not much we can do about it.

Yes, I know, but... why does it force to install lots of GNOME components, such as Nautilus, when Cinnamon uses Nemo; and the gnome-session and gnome-desktop packages?
