Hi all,
I'm still trying to come to grips with understanding ebuilds so please bear with me if this is a simple question. I've just sync'd and then done an

        emerge --ask -NuD world

I have LLVM/clang installed and upon browsing the updates saw app-vim/llvm-vim. This is some sort of syntax highlighting thingy for Vim. I don't have Vim installed so went into the llvm-4.0.0 ebuild and saw the line

PDEPEND="app-vim/llvm-vim

My understanding is that PDEPEND means that something, in this case llvm-vim, will be installed after the update of llvm - correct? If so, I can't see any way of "turning this off" as I don't want even more junk installed on my machine.

Have I understood the ebuild correctly and it could do with a "fiddle" so that it doesn't force this install?

        Regards,
                Andrew
