Sorry, I forgot to mention that. That flag doesn't apply to the meta |
| 18 |
package. |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
If I emerge kde-meta, and then for whatever reason want to change a |
| 21 |
flag, like add dvd or something, I can't simply do; |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
emerge --newuse kde-meta |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Instead, I'd have to do; |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
emerge --newuse kde |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
which won't work because everything that the metapackage installs blocks |
| 30 |
the monolithic packages. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
Is there any way to just install like, certain packages if you've used |
| 33 |
the metapackage? Like, if I didn't want to have to wait for everything |
| 34 |
to be compiled? I'd rather just be able to compile a particular package |
| 35 |
instead, like say if I just wanted to add alsa support to noatun or |
| 36 |
something. Then I could just emerge noatun and be done with it. |
| 37 |
Instead, I have to recompile everything. That probably sounds a little |
| 38 |
silly, but it's just an example. |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
Is there an easier method? |
