You don't need the set in sets.conf, only in the world_sets file, |
| 22 |
/var/lib/portage/world_sets , with the set file itself then in |
| 23 |
/etc/portage/sets . |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
FWIW, my world file (/var/lib/portage/world) is normally entirely empty. |
| 26 |
Instead, I have everything that would normally be listed there, listed in |
| 27 |
various sets in /etc/portage/sets/*. These are organized by functional |
| 28 |
category. |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
So the world_sets file contains entries like: |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
@jed.admin |
| 33 |
@jed.fonts |
| 34 |
@jed.kde.kde-baseapps |
| 35 |
@jed.media |
| 36 |
... |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
(JED are my initials. Here, they're used so I can distinguish on sight |
| 39 |
my own sets from others, for instance the kde-baseapps sets found in the |
| 40 |
kde overlay.) |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
Then for example the /etc/portage/sets/jed.fonts file: |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
media-fonts/dejavu |
| 45 |
media-fonts/freefont |
| 46 |
media-fonts/font-adobe-100dpi |
| 47 |
media-fonts/font-bh-100dpi |
| 48 |
media-fonts/font-bh-lucidatypewriter-100dpi |
| 49 |
media-fonts/font-bitstream-100dpi |
| 50 |
media-fonts/font-ibm-type1 |
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
But I do occasionally use my world file as a sort of "package purgatory" |
| 53 |
for packages I haven't decided for sure whether I want to keep or not, |
| 54 |
but still want to protect them from depclean. If I decide to keep them, |
| 55 |
they're moved to the appropriate sets file. If not, I simply delete the |
| 56 |
entry in world and let depclean do its thing. |
