Re: [gentoo-user] kde-meta minus toys, games, etc
Yes, that is normal. The KDE ebuilds are 'split' now, one monolithic ebuild is equivalent to a few dozen split ebuilds. Each individual app or library has it's own ebuild.

Hi All, Apologies if this has been asked before. I uninstalled my monolithic KDE and am ready to install the split KDE ebuilds. I want to install everything except toys, games and educational packages. Since the DO_NOT_COMPILE is not meant to be used anymore, how would you suggest I go about it? -- Regards, Mick -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] kde-meta minus toys, games, etc
emerge kdebase-meta to get a minimal kde. Then you can emerge whatever other kde programs you want afterwards, eg. kmail, kopete, kpdf, etc. They're all separate ebuilds now.

They're the same as the monolithic packages but with -meta on the end.

If you really mean everything, other responses are probably best, but you can pick choose much more finely. To start, you need kde-base/kdelibs , then kde-base/kdebase-startkde (incl 11 deps). Then you can choose individual packages from /usr/portage/kde-base/ . You might even decide to add 1 game (smile). -- ,, SUPPORT ___//___, Philip Webb : [EMAIL PROTECTED] ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Centre for Urban Community Studies TRANSIT`-O--O---' University of Toronto -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

I've got plenty of disk space, so I never bothered moving away from the monolithic builds. emerge kde worked better for me than emerge kde-meta, which brought in all the same binaries.

If I remember right, last time I tried unmerging kdetoys it would return everytime I did an emerge -u. That was a couple of years ago, before /etc/portage/* appeared. Now, I thought that sooner or later monolithic KDE will be deprecated and so I decided to eventually bite the bullet and move onto the split ebuilds on this occasion. -- Regards, Mick -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
