[gentoo-user] emerge ---p --depclean - check me...
Hi all, I rarely do this (I know, I should do it periodically at least), so I'd like someone to check these... These are the packages that would be unmerged: dev-python/python-exec selected: 1.1 1.2 protected: none omitted: none perl-core/ExtUtils-Command selected: 1.170.0 protected: none omitted: none perl-core/JSON-PP selected: 2.272.0 protected: none omitted: none perl-core/MIME-Base64 selected: 3.130.0 protected: none omitted: none perl-core/Perl-OSType selected: 1.2.0 protected: none omitted: none perl-core/Test-Simple selected: 0.980.0 protected: none omitted: none perl-core/Time-HiRes selected: 1.972.500 protected: none omitted: none perl-core/digest-base selected: 1.170.0 protected: none omitted: none sys-apps/pciutils selected: 3.2.0 protected: none omitted: none sys-devel/automake selected: 1.12.6 protected: none omitted: 1.11.6 1.13.4 sys-devel/libperl selected: 5.10.1 protected: none omitted: none sys-libs/gpm selected: 1.20.6 protected: none omitted: none virtual/init selected: 0 protected: none omitted: none Any obvious problems here? Thanks, Charles

Thanks, Charles Nope, no problems there. A lot of ebuild shuffling has been going on with perl of late - modules moving in and out of core with virtuals coming and going. Let depclean do what it wants, then emerge -avuND world again just in case of the highly unlikely event something got nuked that shouldn't have. Everything else in that list is routine except maybe pciutils and gpm. Add them to world manually if you use those apps -- Alan McKinnon alan.mckin...@gmail.com

Add them to world manually if you use those apps Thanks Alan/Tom... Hmmm... what is pciutils used for? From a little googling, it seems like it is a tool that I would manually have to use, not something required by the system itself for anything that happens automatically (ie, at boot time)? If so, I've never used it that I can recall, so I guess I can let depclean remove it? As for gpm... this is the 'general purpose mouse server'? If so, guess I don't need this either, since this is a VM without a gui? Thanks again, charles

From a little googling, it seems like it is a tool that I would manually have to use, not something required by the system itself for anything that happens automatically (ie, at boot time)? It provides the lspci utility, which is handy when you are trying to figure out what drivers to enable in your kernel. If so, I've never used it that I can recall, so I guess I can let depclean remove it? Yes. As for gpm... this is the 'general purpose mouse server'? If so, guess I don't need this either, since this is a VM without a gui? gpm allows you to use a mouse to copy/paste from the Linux text console. You need to start the daemon for that to work. It's not needed.

From a little googling, it seems like it is a tool that I would manually have to use, not something required by the system itself for anything that happens automatically (ie, at boot time)? pciutils provides lspci, I'm sure you've used that one lots :-) I'm assuming it was in the @system set since forever and has now been taken out - it's hugely useful but not 100% required to get a working Gentoo install so therefore doesn't really belong in @system I myself have a personal @tools set that I've used since forever and pciutils is in it so I always have lspci on every gentoo box. Hence why I have to assume what took place recently in the tree If so, I've never used it that I can recall, so I guess I can let depclean remove it? As for gpm... this is the 'general purpose mouse server'? If so, guess I don't need this either, since this is a VM without a gui? gpm lets you use your mouse in the console just like you use it in X. The pointer isn't an arrow, it's a flashing block cursor but you can highlight, copy and paste text just like in X. Useful if you've gotten to like it, completely redundant if you never used it and get along fine without it Thanks again, charles -- Alan McKinnon alan.mckin...@gmail.com
