What if I emerge -vC all I know I don't want. All kde all gnome all xorg for example, before update world. I was hoping to accomplish much the same thing by editing world. But strangely I see only a few candidates to delete (marked with asterisks): /var/lib/portage/world: app-admin/eselect app-admin/sysklogd app-editors/emacs app-editors/vim app-misc/screen ** app-office/openoffice-bin app-portage/eix app-portage/gentoolkit ** kde-base/kde net-misc/dhcpcd sys-apps/slocate sys-boot/grub sys-devel/gdb sys-kernel/gentoo-sources ** www-client/seamonkey ** x11-drivers/xf86-input-keyboard ** x11-drivers/xf86-input-mouse ** x11-drivers/xf86-video-fbdev ** x11-drivers/xf86-video-vesa ** x11-drivers/xf86-video-vga ** x11-drivers/xf86-video-vmware However eix -I shows a whole bunch of kde packages. Not to mention piles of other stuff not mentioned in `world'. Looks like emerge -vC ???, in conjunction with `2' would seriously cut down the build time even if I didn't weed out everything on the first pass. Or will I likely hit a nightmare of dependency problems if I happen to emerge -vC the wrong library or whatever. I'm willing to chase down equery depends to a degree but not really thoroughly. That would take most of the remainder of my lifetime. -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
