I'm having a situation where way too many packages are coming up |
| 5 |
needing rebuilt during emerge world. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
Decided to see what `emerge @preserved-rebuild would bring me. |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
ran `emerge -va @preserved-rebuild' and I notice that it appears my |
| 10 |
setting in /etc/portage/make.conf for VIDEO_CARDS="virtualbox" is |
| 11 |
being ignored... the output of above command shows: |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
Calculating dependencies... done! |
| 14 |
|

Note how VIDEO_CARDS="amdgpu* nouveau* radeon* [...]" |
| 28 |
is being assigned. |

|
| 30 |
And the already installed (probably unneeded pkgs are being |
| 31 |
reinstalled) |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
I considered ummerging those pkgs but checked `qdepends' on them and |
| 34 |
that swears they are required by xorg-server not to mention this whole |
| 35 |
string of other pkgs: |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
qdepends x11-drivers/xf86-video-nouveau |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
x11-drivers/xf86-video-nouveau-1.0.13: |
| 40 |
>=x11-libs/libdrm-2.4.60[video_cards_nouveau] |
| 41 |
>=x11-libs/libpciaccess-0.10 !<sys-devel/gettext-0.18.1.1-r3 |
| 42 |
>=sys-devel/automake-1.15:1.15 >=sys-devel/autoconf-2.69 |
| 43 |
>=sys-devel/libtool-2.4 virtual/pkgconfig x11-proto/xf86driproto |
| 44 |
x11-proto/glproto x11-proto/dri2proto x11-proto/fontsproto |
| 45 |
x11-proto/randrproto x11-proto/renderproto x11-proto/videoproto |
| 46 |
x11-proto/xextproto x11-proto/xineramaproto x11-proto/xproto |
| 47 |
x11-base/xorg-server[-minimal] x11-libs/libdrm |
| 48 |
x11-base/xorg-server[xorg] x11-libs/libpciaccess |
| 49 |
|
| 50 |
The other pkgs get similar output |
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
This was not the first time I checked qdepends on this. |
| 53 |
|
| 54 |
I did notice back when some of those driver pkgs were initially |
| 55 |
installed and wondered then why I needed them... I checked then with |
| 56 |
qdepends too and found that they are required by xorg-server and a |
| 57 |
similar string of other pkgs as shown above for each. |
| 58 |
|
| 59 |
Can anyone say what is going on here...? Is this normal? |
| 60 |
Should I really be needing drivers for ati, nouveau etc? |
| 61 |
Any ideas about what needs to be done if anything? |
