If you don't want all of kde, you shouldn't be installing kde-meta. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
1) emerge -C kde-meta - this won't actually uninstall anything. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
2) emerge depclean -p - this shows which packages are now considered not |
| 16 |
needed. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
3) Then add the packages you do want to world with emerge -n packagename |
| 19 |
Only add the packages you want, not their dependencies. Things like |
| 20 |
kdelibs, arts, libkonq etc should never be in world. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
4) goto 2 until the list contains only packages you don't want |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
5) emerge depclean |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
You'll end up with a much leaner system. As an alternative to having |
| 27 |
every KDE package in world, you could install some of the section meta |
| 28 |
packages. I install kdebase-meta, kdenetwork-meta, kdeartwork-meta and |
| 29 |
koffice-meta. the rest, I choose individual packages. |
