I think you two have it backwards. |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
The intended workflow is that if you emerge something, you know what it |
| 34 |
is, you don't have to make further decisions about it and you want it in |
| 35 |
world. |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
@world, by definition, is the list of packages you want. That plus |
| 38 |
@system plus all deps constitutes the set of what should be on the |
| 39 |
system, anything you have not in that set is subject to depcleaning |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
If you are not sure about some package, by all means emerge it with -1. |
| 42 |
Check it out, verify it, make sure it does what you want then get it in |
| 43 |
world with emerge -n. Why would you want to have stuff around for |
| 44 |
extended periods that is not in world? |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
If you have a package that you no longer want (as you know what is in |
| 47 |
your world right), unmerge it with -C |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
Don't make life difficult for yourself. It's MUCH easier to know what's |
| 50 |
in world than to try and remember what should be and isn't. |
