I tried doing my usual emerge -auvND world this morning (I update once |
2 |
or twice a week). This morning emerge says it needs to install 49 new |
3 |
packages. |
4 |
|
5 |
Forty-nine new packages?! |
6 |
|
7 |
Much of it appears to be texlive, which is now apparently required by |
8 |
the 'atril' pdf viewer. Why does it suddenly require texlive? |
9 |
There's a 'dvi' use flag which understandably would require tex stuff, |
10 |
but that flag is not set. |
11 |
|
12 |
It also appears that Perl devs have decided that although I asked for |
13 |
no new packages to be installed, I really do need about 20 new perl |
14 |
packages. |
15 |
|
16 |
Doesn't anybody else thing this sort of package-bloat is getting out |
17 |
of hand? |
