Uh.. then what exactly were you complaining about? The only thing that |
| 7 |
depends on kdebase-startkde is kdebase-meta, at least in a |
| 8 |
standard-ish installation of KDE using the meta packages. |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
Let me put it this way: by not installing the -meta package, you |
| 11 |
explicitly say that you think you know better than the kde devs in |
| 12 |
what makes a basic, useable, KDE desktop. And now you complain because |
| 13 |
your subset of KDE packages does not contain everything you need? |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
Okay, all jokes aside: since you have particular wants and don't-wants |
| 16 |
with regards to the KDE packaging, I really suggest that instead of |
| 17 |
keeping all that junk in your world file, that you create your own |
| 18 |
overlay and write your own -meta ebuild. My guess is just copying the |
| 19 |
kde-meta ebuild and editting the RDEPEND variable to reflect the |
| 20 |
actual packages you want will do it. |
