If you want only some stuff in one of those and not everything, omit the -meta, look inside it's ebuild and install the DEPENDS you do want. Same result as what you asked for, different means of achieving it. -- Alan McKinnon alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
