What is the best way to clean up the world file? |

|
3 |
I have inherited a system where someone did individual emerges to update |
4 |
packages when there was a single package that had a problem. So, now |
5 |
all the packages that emerge wanted to update have been added to the |
6 |
world file. |

I'd like to clean up world file so that it's back to just the original |
9 |
packages and allow emerge to manage the dependencies. More |
10 |
specifically, I'd like the standard emerge --depclean to remove |
11 |
no-longer-needed dependencies after removing the things that depended on |
12 |
them. |
13 |
|
14 |
I can derive a list of the extra dependencies from the |
15 |
/var/log/emerge.log file by looking for clusters of individual installs |
16 |
really close to each other. |
