  One question about that.  In my /etc/make.conf

  What do the flags userland_GNU kernel_linux elibc_glibc do?  I'm
sure the developers have some reason to put them in.  Mind you, I don't
always agree with the developers, but that's another story.

Not show up with the latest portage :)

As i understand it, they are there because portage can now be used on
other than GNU/Linux systems based on glibc.

[gentoo-user] What is causing x11-terms/xterm to be dragged in?

2006-05-26 Thread michael

Hello,

I'm trying to remove any dependencies on x11 from my headless server. Thanks to
someone's help last week, I learned how to configure libdb to not use java,
which had dragged in the java IDE which dragged in x11.

That worked wonderfully, and I removed x11 and thought I was done.

As a sanity check, I checked to see what emerge world would do and was
surprised:

 # emerge -Duv --pretend --tree world

  [ebuild  N] x11-terms/xterm-207  -Xaw3d -doc -toolbar +truetype -unicode 
0  kB
  [nomerge  ]  sys-apps/utempter-0.5.5.6
  [nomerge  ]   app-arch/rpm2targz-9.0-r3
  [ebuild  N]virtual/x11-6.8  0 kB
  [ebuild  N] x11-base/xorg-x11-6.8.2-r7  -3dfx -3dnow +bitmap-fonts
  -cjk -debug -dlloader -dmx -doc -font-server -insecure-drivers +ipv6 -minimal
  -mmx +nls -nocxx +opengl +pam -sdk -sse -static +truetype-fonts +type1-fonts

  [ebuild  N]  x11-base/opengl-update-3.0.0  0 kB
  [ebuild  N]  x11-apps/ttmkfdir-3.0.9-r3  0 kB

How can I find out what is requiring x11-terms/xterm-207?

Thanks,
Michael

What are your use flags from /etc/make.conf and /usr/portage/package.use?
You have opengl as an enabled flag, for example, and that would pull in
xorg if something reacts to it (as libsdl does on my system).

I should have included that in my original email, of course:

$ grep USE  /etc/make.conf | grep -v ^#
USE=berkdb innodb

I have no /usr/portage/package.use

$ grep USE  /etc/make.profile/make.defaults

motif mp3 mpeg ogg oggvorbis opengl oss pdflib png qt quicktime sdl spell
truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts vorbis X xml2 xmms xv

AHA!

but the man page for emerge says not to edit /etc/make.profile/make.defaults.
How do I get X out of there? If in fact that's the cause of my problem?

Everything you put in /etc/make.conf should be based on the
make.defaults, or possible things you want enabled.
If X is in make.defaults, add -X to make.conf to disable it. You should
probably add -X -opengl -gnome -gtk -gtk2 -kde -qt to /etc/make.conf at
least, that should hopefully fix your issues.

Curious that X should be in make.defaults.  Does that mean that the 
devs think that everyone wants X loaded?

I think the basic default use flags are meant to be for a general
purpose system, which would usually include X. If you are lazy and don't
want to change your use flags, chances are you won't have to, at least not
very much, to have all of your programs work. If you're able to use the
system without X installed, it's most likely assumed you can add -X to
make.conf.
