Heh... try my depclean summary (this is from my workstation, but the |
| 12 |
netbook's summary is similar): |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
Packages installed: 863 |
| 15 |
Packages in world: 0 |
| 16 |
Packages in system: 0 |
| 17 |
Required packages: 863 |
| 18 |
Number removed: 0 |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
A rather unusual depclean summary for sure, but how? |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
Simple enough. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
1) /etc/portage/profile/packages has a whole bunch of -*cat/pkg entries |
| 25 |
in it, negating everything that would otherwise be in @system, thus the 0 |
| 26 |
packages in system line. (When I first set that up, I negated |
| 27 |
everything, then took a look at what a depclean pretend run did, and |
| 28 |
added back to my sets, see the next point, anything it was trying to |
| 29 |
remove that I actually needed to keep. There was surprisingly little, as |
| 30 |
most of my former @system was a specified dependency of something or |
| 31 |
other.) |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
2) My world file is empty, because I use the sets support in portage 2.2, |
| 34 |
and have categorized all my former world-file entries into about two |
| 35 |
dozen sets such as jed.admin, jed.kde.base.kdebase.apps, jed.net.admin, |
| 36 |
and jed.net.user, which are in turn listed in my world_sets file. (jed |
| 37 |
are my initials, easy way to avoid set namespace pollution and tell my |
| 38 |
custom sets from those in the kde overlay, for instance.) |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
3) portage-2.2 pulls in the world_sets, but doesn't yet have a line in |
| 41 |
depclean that reports them[1], and doesn't include them in the world line |
| 42 |
either, so the depclean summary ends up being rather cryptic, to say the |
| 43 |
least, the more so due to factor #1 meaning 0 packages in @system, as |
| 44 |
well. |
| 45 |
|

[1] I long ago filed a bug suggesting a new world-sets line for depclean, |
| 48 |
but I expect it'll be resolved/fixed about the time sets support finally |
| 49 |
gets unmasked to ~arch, the status of which looks about like the tree's |
| 50 |
git conversion status... in practice, target "bluesky". I guess these |
| 51 |
are gentoo's Duke Nukem' Forever projects. |
