I tell by knowing which files I want in @world. Everything in world should be a package __I__ specifically want to use. Everything in world (on my machines anyway) is something: 1) I'd call from the command line 2) Need to write a little software myself, most specifically a library 3) Aid in displaying things, like font packages 4) Something required by Gentoo that I don't totally understand, like a virtual package. I just look through every so often and make sure everything seems to meet those sorts of requirements. When I find a library or something else then: 1) I make sure I'm clean with emerge -DuN @world AND emerge -p --depclean 2) I'll delete the questionable item 3) I'll see what happens with the two commands in #1 To me it's pretty straight forward, but I'm also not bothered at all by the idea that emerge package and emerge -u package do the same thing. A machine that doesn't have a package, when updated, should have the package and it should (IMO) be in world, but that's just me.
