60 No, no manual way here. I use meta packages too. Just not kde-meta;
61 that's the
62 "includes-all-mega-duper-everything-mother-of-all-meta-packages" package.
63
64 Instead I use stuff like kdeartwork-meta, kdebase-meta,
65 kdebase-runtime-meta, etc. Emerging the actual packages all by hand
66 would be too tedious. I still need a few, but really just a few (and
67 it's obvious which ones; for example if you have the Kate editor missing
68 in KDE, you know you need to emerge kde-base/kate.)
