Hi all,

Everytime I install a Gentoo on a system, I curse and scream about one of 
the major flaws in portage.

Whenever I want just one program emerged, say, on a laptop using xfce4 on 
xfree, USE="-kde -esd -arts
  -alsa -oss":
I want to emerge anjuta, portage wants gnomelibs, which in turn want esd. 
It totally ignores my
useflags, the fact that this notebook does not HAVE sound hardware. OK, 
that would be too much for
portage to know, but the USE is ignored anyway. I just want to run anjuta 
with xfce4.
Okay, I think. Lets emerge all that shit, and get over with.
Next thing, I want licq. I pretend. Guess what appears on the list? artsd! 
I cant stand it, really.
Gentoo would be such a nice distro, but it is ALL BLOATED. The fact that 
it is the best distro out
there does make up to that, but it just would be NICER it didn't have to. 
So I suggest: Let there be
a mode for Portage where all CRITICAL dependencies are shown, what the 
program I want NEEDS to run.
I dont want to have an entire OS installed if I just want one program. 
artsd is not a dep from licq,
but somehow entagled in that kde thing, which I dont WANT to have. So, a 
distinction needs to be
made between USEFUL deps, or standard deps, and CRITICAL deps, or needed 
deps.

What do you think?

Regards,

Related to this comment in the emerge manpage:

--update (-u)
	Updates packages to the most recent version available.	Note that
	--update does not have	full functionality  yet.   It  will  not
	automatically update dependencies of packages in the world file,
	unless they too are in the world file.

I created a kind of "emerge --update universe" that you can find
in the attached patch.  Comments are welcome !

The patch applies over portage 2.0.45-r5
md5sum of the original emerge: 7eb429e274ff9713270b1a7b3649c22e

Hi!

Is there a way to do something like this:
want to emerge programs A and B
portage downloads A
portage compiles A and at he same time portage downloads B
when compilation of A finishes, portage compiles B
That would be a great feature...

Is is possible?

Zizi
