Yeah, you really don't want to do that. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
virtual/ssh is listed in the base profile, so every Gentoo system on the |
| 23 |
planet starts off with it included. It's the server and the client, so |
| 24 |
if you don't want the server running, then don't start it (your security |
| 25 |
argument doesn't really hold water), and the client is about the second |
| 26 |
most useful piece of software there is, up there with compilers and shells |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
It's not a big package: |
| 29 |
$ equery size openssh |
| 30 |
* net-misc/openssh-7.5_p1-r2 |
| 31 |
Total files : 70 |
| 32 |
Total size : 5.68 MiB |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
Compiles rather quickly too: |
| 35 |
$ genlop -t openssh |
| 36 |
* net-misc/openssh |
| 37 |

| 38 |
merge time: 53 seconds. |

So I think you are cargo-culting and trying to remove something with |
| 41 |
zero understanding of why it is there. But it annoys you |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
But if you really want to shoot both feet off at the knees, read on: |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
You can't modify a profile, nothing in them is optional. You have to |
| 46 |
take an existing profile then extend and modify it. Look at |
| 47 |
defaults/linux/x86/* and see how they extend x86. |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
The magic line that does what you desire goes in a file called |
| 50 |
"packages", look at this example from prefix: |
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
$ cat ./prefix/linux/packages |
| 53 |
# Here we remove packages that default/linux/packages pulls in and have |
| 54 |
# no business being in Gentoo Prefix |
| 55 |
-*sys-apps/busybox |
| 56 |
-*sys-apps/util-linux |
