I have 947 packages installed, but only 103 lines in my world file. |
| 13 |
All of those should be files that I explicitly chose to install at one |
| 14 |
time or another. If I don't recognize a line or I don't know what it |
| 15 |
does, out it goes. Then I'll run a pretend depclean, see if anything I |
| 16 |
*want* is being removed, select those packages, and try the depclean |
| 17 |
again. |

Unless you're a developer, you probably don't need most packages under |
| 20 |
dev-libs/* or media-libs/* in your world file; any that are actually |
| 21 |
required should be pulled in as a dependency of something else. |
