In my experience the world file isn't huge - 50-100 lines - but only |
| 22 |
if it contains the things that really need to be there. I've simply |
| 23 |
commented out specific entries and run emerge -pvDuN @world to |
| 24 |
determine if the entry wasn't necessary, and if it wasn't then removed |
| 25 |
it. When I've boiled it down to things that need to be there (I.e. - I |
| 26 |
can still run emerge -pvDuN @world and there would be no changes) then |
| 27 |
I run emerge - p --depclean to look at what can be removed, make sure |
| 28 |
it's OK, and then run depclean for real. |

Hope this helps, |
