This strategy will do a thorough clean-up, although you'll have to be |
| 31 |
patient: |
| 32 |
1. Re-check that you're on the right profile - now that you don't use |
| 33 |
KDE/GNOME anymore, the profile default/linux/$ARCH/10.0/desktop is |
| 34 |
probably the right one for you (unless you run hardened/selinux, of |
| 35 |
course). Use for example 'eselect profile' to read/set profiles. |
| 36 |
2. Re-check that your /var/lib/portage/world only contains stuff you |
| 37 |
really need. |
| 38 |
3. Remove all positive USE flags (i.e., those without a leading '-'). |
| 39 |
4. Append the following line to /etc/portage/package.use: |
| 40 |
dev-lang/perl ithreads |
| 41 |
(Is it just me or does every other autoconf run fail if ithreads aren't |
| 42 |
in perl?) |
| 43 |
5. Run 'emerge -pvuDN world' and focus on the flags that are going to |
| 44 |
be (newly) switched off - the green ones. |
| 45 |
6. Put back (only) those such flags that you now know pull some |
| 46 |
actually useful functionality into your system and that you don't want |
| 47 |
removed. |
| 48 |
7. Run 'emerge -vuDN world' -> 'etc-update' -> 'emerge -vc' -> |
| 49 |
'revdep-rebuild -i'. |
