[gentoo-user] How to install viewvc w/o apache and related cruft?

[Grant Edwards]

I'm trying to install viewvc, but emerge insists on installing apache
and webapp-config.  I don't want to install apache (or any other web
server) -- all I want to install is viewvc.

I installed webapp-config, installed viewvc using emerge --nodeps,
then unmerged webapp-config.

Now viewvc runs fine, but every time I do an update, emerge wants to
install apache and webapp-config.

How do I convince portage that viewvc does not require an external web
server and I don't want apache or webappconifg installed?

It's a web app, so I'm not surprised it depends on a web server. Try
putting apache in /etc/portage/profile/package.provided.
