I would like emerge -epv @system to be a fairly contained set of |
| 2 |
packages. (If possible like it was when I first built the system a |
| 3 |
mere 5 weeks ago...) It seems out of control on my system these days |
| 4 |
as it wants to emerge 242 packages. One major contributor is not using |
| 5 |
a global -cups use flag in make.conf which would reduce it to 178. |
| 6 |
That was added to figure out why Gnome didn't see Sups printers at |
| 7 |
all. Sure, I would then have to turn on cups for certain packages but |
| 8 |
that's OK with me. However I still see cairo, icedtea-bin, virtual |
| 9 |
java stuff, alsa-libs, and a bunch of x11-proto files so it doesn't |
| 10 |
feel like @system stuff to me |

1) Where is the 'system' or '@system' specification on my machine? |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
2) If you folks run emerge -epv @system then how machine packages do you see? |

P.S. - This actually started as a question about why the newest |
| 20 |
version of portage won't emerge without changes in what versions of QT |
| 21 |
the system is running and asking why portage requires QT at all, but |
| 22 |
I'll get to that one later. ;-) |

An interesting if mildly related post, at least in spirit... |
