I take a different approach, I have a set called temp in my world_sets. If |
| 23 |
I want to try something out, I "echo cat/pkg >>/etc/portage/sets/temp" |
| 24 |
then I can try it and keep it updated during the trial and not have to |
| 25 |
worry about its deps. All I need to do is look at the temp file from time |
| 26 |
to time and remove anything I no longer want, then it gets depcleaned |
| 27 |
along with its dependencies. |

Putting --oneshot is the defaults is fine as long as you remember to |
| 30 |
emerge -n anything you know you want. I've been using Gentoo for so long |
| 31 |
that I automatically add -1 without thinking about it even when using -p! |
