So, here are my questions : With world being autogenerated
Not sure I would call it 'autogenerated'. It is more accurate to call it the list of packages that you have merged without the --oneshot option.
- If I emerge a library, like xvid with "emerge xvid", it will end up in world. How do I revert that ? Do I have to emerge -C xvid and then emerge --oneshot xvid ?
That is one way. You could quicken this with "quickpkg xvid; emerge -C xvid ; emerge --oneshot --usepkgonly xvid". Or just edit /var/lib/portage/world by hand to remove xvid.
- If I emerge -Dup world, will the listed packages alkl end-up in world ?
No. Only the packages you specifically merge without --oneshot end up in world. Dependancies of world or system packages that show up when you add -D/--deep are not added to world...
- If I first emerge a package, for example kmail, with emerge kmail, and later, during an upgrade phase, do an emerge --oneshot kmail, will kmail be removed from world ?
No. Only unmerging the package, or ediiting the world file, will remove it from world. -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
