Re: [gentoo-amd64] World packages

[Mark Knecht]

Thanks guys. I understand how portage works and what to do to clean
things up. That part isn't an issue this time around.

I'm more trying to understand whether this is just left over from old
installs and hasn't gotten cleaned up along the way. I had about 6
emul-linux packages. The all were dependencies of the two that are
left so I simply removed them from the world file knowing they'd stay
in and didn't need to be listed. Clearly I can remove these last two
from world and they'll all go away but before I did that I just wanted
to make sure there wasn't anything magic about them. For instance,
maybe the emul-java file is some subset of running java in
firefox-bin? If it was would it show up as a dependency? I don't know.

None of this is a big deal. I was just poking around and decided to do
an early spring cleaning.

Cheers,
Mark
