10 Is this in fact true?
11
12 I checked mine, and found:
13
14 # grep -i libs /var/lib/portage/world
15 app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-baselibs
16 dev-libs/apr
17 dev-libs/apr-util
18 dev-libs/boost
19 dev-libs/elfutils
20 dev-libs/glib
21 dev-libs/gmp
22 dev-libs/libaio
23 dev-libs/libdnet
24 dev-libs/libevent
25 dev-libs/libffi
26 dev-libs/libgcrypt
27 dev-libs/libgpg-error
28 dev-libs/libksba
29 dev-libs/libpcre
30 dev-libs/libyaml
31 dev-libs/oniguruma
32 dev-libs/openssl
33 media-libs/libjpeg-turbo
34 media-libs/libpng
35 net-libs/libtirpc
36 net-libs/serf
37 sys-libs/cracklib
38 sys-libs/glibc
39 sys-libs/libcap
40 sys-libs/timezone-data
41
42 So, should I delete all of these? Even glib and glibc?
43
44 Also - is there a definitive guide (preferably for non programmer types)
45 on just how to properly clean the world file?
46
47 Thanks.
