Intall all the kde*-meta packages except kde-meta (I want to customize my
kde install) and kdenetwork-meta (Specifically, I want to adjust network
[ppp] support). Install any packages I need but don't have yet via the
split ebuilds.
I have an idea, but it would probably involve a change in portage
itself instead of a mere ebuild useflag change.
That idea is basically "optional dep if installable"
ie:
kdenetwork-meta:
(opdep =kde-base/kppp)
which by default would pull kppp if there was an unmasked copy in the
tree and to skip pulling it, you would just p-mask it
Reason of course being that I for one, a list of 30 useflags all
titled with "no" on the front of them would be a little daunting
( Im not saying it /should/ be done like this, but I just try cover
other areas / techniques that haven't been investigated yet in the off
chance somebody else will see a great idea offshoot from it )
