If I understand your question correctly: the kdemeta packages are simply containers that have the various individual apps belonging to the category as dependencies (look at the ebuilds and you'll see this). So, if you install, for example, kdemultimedia-meta (which will bring in all the kdemultimedia programs) and then an update for noatun comes out, emerge will only rebuild noatun. Think of it like any other dependency mechanism that is handled by portage: if you install gnome, that will bring in the gtk libraries as well; if an update is available for the gtk libraries, only those will be rebuilt. -- [email protected] mailing list
