I've done this manually in the past. Edit /var/lib/world and remove |
| 7 |
everything you think shouldn't be in there. Be brutal, if you never run |
| 8 |
the program directly, you probably don't want it in world. |

|
| 10 |
Then run "emerge --depclean --pretend". If this lists any packages you |
| 11 |
know you want (directly, not as dependencies) add them to world with |
| 12 |
"emerge -n package". |
| 13 |
|

Rinse and repeat. |

Finally, when everything listed by "emerge --depclean" is not something |
| 17 |
you want to keep, run it without --pretend. |
