Yes it would (more or less). If I remember right, last time I tried |
| 23 |
unmerging kdetoys it would return everytime I did an emerge -u. That |
| 24 |
was a couple of years ago, before /etc/portage/* appeared. Now, I |
| 25 |
thought that sooner or later monolithic KDE will be deprecated and so |
| 26 |
I decided to eventually bite the bullet and move onto the split |
| 27 |
ebuilds on this occasion. |
