Somewhat on that topic, if it hasn't already been considered, it would be nice |
11 |
if Portage kept track of enough info so that 'emerge -C gnome' (for example) |
12 |
uninstalled everything that was installed for 'gnome' (including |
13 |
dependencies) unless they are depended on by another package installed later. |
14 |
Likewise, a warning when a user is uninstalling a package that something else |
15 |
still depends on would be good. |
