Hello Daniel, |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
What you have told me looks interesting. However, for now, I'm going |
| 15 |
to clean up the critical systems with a more brute force approach, |
| 16 |
as Neil has suggested. I cannot afford to wack these systems nor |
| 17 |
have them reinstalling tons of software...... |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
However, I am going to get workstation a non-critical workstation, |
| 20 |
polluted the world file and try the python scripts a few times, to |
| 21 |
develop an opinion or hack on it a bit. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
udept seems like a good idea, it's ashame it has been orphaned. I'm |
| 24 |
looking for a more stable (supported) solution for the long term. |
| 25 |
udept does not seem to offer that, unless somebody picks it up |
| 26 |
to maintain it. Who knows maybe one of the devs is working on a |
| 27 |
better, long term solution. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
Surely many folks would benefit from a formal, systematic approach |
| 30 |
to cleaning the world file? I know every now and then, when a gentoo |
| 31 |
workstation gives me fits, I just emerge and unemerge things until |
| 32 |
it's happy (while multitasking too much). Often this leads to |
| 33 |
a polluted world file....... because I do not follow closely to |
| 34 |
the process details (distracted) during the repair-episode. |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
Thanks for the input. |
