Thanks Peter, I've keyworded it along with half a dozen of other dependencies it dragged in and it is emerging now. Will mesa still be required, or are the two packages used for different purposes and can co-exist? signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

You need to add it to package.keywords. I've been running like that for some years, to enable GPU processing of BOINC projects on an AMD Radeon Pro WX5100. -- Regards, Peter.

Are you sure that you would miss any of them? From the lists on the bugs posted by Holger here, it seems like most of it are small specialised tools used for specific needs. If you don't know that you explicitly use them, you probably don't. The proposed meta package for the to-be-removed fonts is a different matter, but I don't know how much use those fonts get in practice, might be worth following that bug for info. Regards, Arve

Hello everyone! Upon upgrade, portage told me that x11-base/xorg-x11 is masked and will be removed from the repo on November 1st. I thought "ok, why not do it now", so I have typed: # emerge -W x11-base/xorg-x11 # emerge -cav and there was a surprise (not a pleasant one). Since xorg-x11 is a metapackage it pulled so many things I would like to have still here. Is there any reasonable way to put all those packages to my world file, so I can easily remove xorg-x11 without deleting half of my desktop apps?
