It seems to me like there are a number of things that should be able to |
| 2 |
hint that you want some particular slots of particular packages, such that |
| 3 |
--depclean doesn't remove them and emerge world updates them. |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
For example, it shouldn't remove the version of gentoo-sources that your |
| 6 |
/usr/src/linux symlink points to. It shouldn't remove the version of emacs |
| 7 |
you've got eselected. It shouldn't remove a version of tomcat that you've |
| 8 |
got in your default runlevel. It shouldn't remove the Java VM that |
| 9 |
java-config is set to. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
For each of these, I think it should handle this information as if the |
| 12 |
particular slot were in your world file, so long as the system is |
| 13 |
configured that way (that is, it shouldn't actually record it in the world |
| 14 |
file that way, but it should act like it saw it there). |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
Would this be a generally good concept, if I came up with a suitable |
| 17 |
implementation? (Now that the code is set up to carry out the implications |
| 18 |
of such a setting) |
