So I took a look myself with clang < 4.0 (needed on my system anyways thanks to rust): % equery f llvm|grep vim /usr/share/vim /usr/share/vim/vimfiles /usr/share/vim/vimfiles/llvm-lit.vim /usr/share/vim/vimfiles/llvm.vim /usr/share/vim/vimfiles/tablegen.vim % du -ch $(equery f llvm|grep vim) 2> /dev/null 4,0K/usr/share/vim/vimfiles/llvm-lit.vim 8,0K/usr/share/vim/vimfiles/llvm.vim 4,0K/usr/share/vim/vimfiles/tablegen.vim 16K total So well, 16KB in sum. Funny to see the “outsourced“ ebuild is exactly the same size. All in all I consider that way a bit ugly, but for this size I agree it’s really wasted energy [and as the mentioned dev pointed out, discussing this matter takes way more space than the issue itself].

It is a fixed dependency, so the ebuild maintainer considers it compulsory. > Have I understood the ebuild correctly and it could do with a > "fiddle" so that it doesn't force this install? You can remove the dependency from the ebuild and recreate the manifest, then one of the following may happen. It will fail to build It will build but fail to run It will build and run successfully One or more kittens/puppies will die If only option 3 happens, copy the modified ebuild to a local overlay to prevent the dependency being reinstated when you next sync. Then file a bug asking for this to be controlled by a USE flag. -- Neil Bothwick Forget the Joneses...I can't keep up with The Simpsons. pgpN0Ati910CS.pgp Description: OpenPGP digital signature
[gentoo-user] Latest LLVM wants to pollute my machine with VIM stuff.....
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
