What you want, is to disable the eds use flag (USE="-eds"). It enables |
| 11 |
support fo evolution data server, which, if you are not using |
| 12 |
evolution or gnome, is not terribly useful. |
| 13 |
|

It might be a good idea to also have -gnome in your USE if you do not |
| 15 |
use gnome at all. It shouldn't cause any problems. Anything that |
| 16 |
explicitly depends on gnome would still bring in the needed libraries, |
| 17 |
it is only stuff that have an optional dependency on gnome that would |
| 18 |
get affected. |

Personally speaking, I suggest you emerge 'ufed'. It is a useflag |
| 21 |
editor based on ncurses. It also displays a description of each flag. |
| 22 |
Then I suggest that you go through the entire list and mark off the |
| 23 |
ones you want and unmark the ones you don't want. It should be a |
| 24 |
one-time affair, and could potentially save you lots of time later. |
