I have never used --exclude before. I'll try it out soon. I unmerge them |
| 13 |
so that in the next step --depclean --with-bdeps=n will also get rid of |
| 14 |
all dependencies and build-time dependencies. |

Most likely the first steps will be eselect news read and emerge -a1 portage |
| 27 |
I have never been to lucky with @system. Often I do have more problems |
| 28 |
to update @system than to update @world. Sometimes I think that @system |
| 29 |
contains atoms which do not belong there. Might be a feeling and I never |
| 30 |
looked into it. |

Your suggestion seems to be a better way. I'll change that. |
