[gentoo-user] package masking

Hi to everyone, my question is: Is there easy way to emerge gnome meta-package while masking some useless (for me) features such as vino, vinagre,... For now I'm using gnome-light but this is very minimal and so there are some packages that I have to hand select to my world which is not so

Certainly not. The most reasonable way is to maintain your own meta package in an overlay. Just copy gnome-*.ebuild there and remove all dependencies you don't like. Sounds like a good idea. I am not to happy with some meta packages either. I'll give it a try.

Howdy, I'm curious if there is a way to conditionally package mask. Let me give todays example. Running ~x86. gimp-2.3.9 is installed. gimp-perl-2.2_pre1 has this RDEPEND =media-gfx/gimp-2.2* So naturally wants to downgrade gimp to 2.2.11-r1. What would be nice is to be able to mask:
