For this to work, you'd have to do at least two things: |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
1) Hack portage to display virtuals stuff differently. Otherwise we'd |
| 14 |
end up with reaaaaallyy really messy qpkg / equery / emerge output. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
2) Make RDEPEND work. Example:: |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
emerge fluxbox |
| 19 |
(watch xorg-x11 get pulled in) |
| 20 |
emerge unmerge xorg-x11 |
| 21 |
(virtual/x11 is still installed) |
| 22 |
emerge kde |
| 23 |
(watch stuff explode since there're no x libs) |
| 24 |
