Nope. That leaves you two options that I'm aware of: |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
1) Adding all packages currently in dev-java: |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
# { echo "# disable doc for all packages in dev-java" && \ |
| 16 |
cd $(portageq portdir) && find dev-java -mindepth 1 -maxdepth 1 -type d | \ |
| 17 |
sed 's/$/ -doc/'; } >> /etc/portage/package.use |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
2) Switching to Paludis which does support wildcards (currently only in the -scm |
| 20 |
version): http://ciaranm.org/show_post/114 |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
If you go with 2) make sure to read the Paludis docs and faq at paludis.org... |
