Did you even try to read the emerge man page? Obviously not, as it's right there listed as --nodeps > And I'd like to have this package excluded from all future > dependency-checks (like revdep-rebuild). How could I do it? Note that what you are trying will never work. You are asking the roof man to build the roof without bothering to build the walls first. So what holds the roof up? The only way this can work is if the dependant package(s) is|are already there but portage did not provide it|them. In which case, please save yourself a lot of trouble and install the relevant package manually into /usr/local/ or ~/ -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com
