Afternoon all, I masked the latest version of plasma-meta, 5.18.5, when it appeared last week, because it insisted on installing network-manager, which I neither need nor want. Now I'm running an emerge -e @world, and portage insists on plasma- meta-5.18.5. (Why?) If I unmask it, network-manager insists on wifi ( wext ? Wifi ) even though there's no such hardware on this machine.
For the moment I've excluded plasma-meta from the -e @world, which seems to be doing the job. Is this going to be policy in future? Bloat the machine up with bells and whistles that are unwanted, and even actively disliked. Already I've been obliged to install encryption and LVM, neither of which I want; where is it going to end? -- Regards, Peter.
