17 Well... let's say it like this:
18
19 If you look at your world file, you should for each line be able to
20 immediately say "yes I know what this is and I need it". Where "I need it"
21 means "I need it directly", and *not* "I need it because some other package
22 needs it".
23
24 In most cases this means that libraries should not be in the world file.
25 You'll rarely say "Yes I need Boost." Instead you may need LibreOffice, and
26 that needs Boost...
27
28 The smaller your world file is, the more freedom portage has to resolve
29 dependencies.
