Hi Gentoo-users,
what an unpleasant surprise awaited me today when I tried to
update my systems: gentoo-sources want to be installed everywhere!
-------------------
# emerge --pretend --update --deep --newuse --verbose world
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild N ] sys-devel/bc-1.06.95 USE="readline -libedit -static"
284 kB
[ebuild U ] app-admin/eselect-python-20111108 [20100321] 64 kB
[ebuild N ] sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-3.7.10:3.7.10 USE="-build
-deblob -symlink" 68,335 kB
[ebuild N ] virtual/linux-sources-0 0 kB
[ebuild R ] sys-apps/kmod-12-r1 USE="tools zlib -debug -doc -lzma
-static-libs" KERNEL="(linux%*)" 0 kB
Total: 5 packages (1 upgrade, 3 new, 1 reinstall), Size of downloads:
68,682 kB
-------------------
Why in the heavens name should be gentoo-sources pulled in as
dependency of whatever? I have 6 nearly identical machines, and
use only one for kernel compilation, so why should I now have
gentoo-sources on every system? Can I somehow prevent it?
