Definition of reverse -n option. emerge --remove-from-world pidgin |
| 42 |
That would remove the entry pidgin from the world file. Then a user |
| 43 |
could use --depclean to remove pidgin and other dependencies that are no |
| 44 |
longer needed. There would be no need to use -C in that case. |

I am subscribed to -user as well. I been using Gentoo since the 1.4 |
| 47 |
days. This is about improving portage which is a good thing to talk |
| 48 |
about here. The devs do it, not the user. ;-) Also, I already know |
| 49 |
how to use portage pretty good. I'm not asking for support just trying |
| 50 |
to improve things. |
