That's all very well and good (leaving aside other packages-- like |
| 8 |
firefox, for example-- that might be dependent on the packages you |
| 9 |
uninstalled), but how did you install gnome in the first place? |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
Assuming that you did |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
emerge gnome |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
or |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
emerge gnome-light |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
the correct procedure would be to: |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
1. disable the "gnome" USE flag (in /etc/make.conf; remove any lines in |
| 22 |
/etc/portage/package.use that might say "gnome") |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
2. do an emerge -uaDtNv world to recompile all packages previously |
| 25 |
compiled with optional gnome support without such support) |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
3. unmerge gnome(-light) (this will not remove any packages, just the |
| 28 |
meta-package, but is essential for the next step |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
4. do an emerge depclean -p to see what gnome packages are installed |
| 31 |
that no longer are required by any currently installed package |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
4a. If any of the packages that appear in the depclean -p output are |
| 34 |
packages you want to keep, emerge them separately to put them in your |
| 35 |
world file; |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
5. If you don't want any of the packages, then do an emerge depclean |
| 38 |
(without the -p) to remove the packages listed in the previous output |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
6. do a revdep-rebuild -p to confirm that you didn't break anything by |
| 41 |
removing the previous packages. |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
That should about cover it. |
