I've attached a bash script to list all files, including those pulled in as dependancies of xorg-server. It also sets up another bash script to do the actual emerge. Here's how it works... * It creates a bash script "ef" (emerge fonts) * First put in the "#!/bin/bash" * Add "emerge -1 " to the file. *NOTE* The "-n" option prevents the normal linefeed * "emerge -pv --depclean" lists (amongst other things) all installed packages. This includes both stuff in world, and stuff that is pulled in as a dependancy * "grep media-fonts" filters the listing down to the "media-fonts" group, including various font utilities. * "sort -u" filters out duplicate lines * 'grep -v "pulled in by"' gets rid of the "pulled in by" lines. * The "sed" command puts an "=" sign in front of each package name, to make it a valid emerge parameter * the "tr" command converts linefeeds to spaces. The string of packagenames is appended to "emerge -1 " in the file "ef" * last, but not least, the file "ef" is set executable. You can look at it before launching it. -- Walter Dnes <waltd...@waltdnes.org>
