I just chose the specific packages I wanted and explicitly emerged |
87 |
them. You can just add them to your world file (either manually, or |
88 |
with "emerge --noreplace package" so they won't be depcleaned. I have |
89 |
lots of kde stuff (37 items from grep kde worldfile) but kdecore-meta |
90 |
and kdegraphics-meta are the only meta packages in my world file. |
