Subject: [gentoo-dev] Creating a Sketeton System

After some talk in the forums a point came up that we need a way to reduce
the long used gentoo system to a bare point before X but after any
baselayout upgrade had been applied.

This script would enable two things: a person to rebuild his system after a
library malfunction and also if a person wanted to switch from 100% gtk to
100% qt or vice-versa.

At present we have depclean to reduce anything past xorg-x11 but that
doesn't get as far as anything that doesn't rely on a package being able to
depend on an GUI, libraries need to be brought in and all but baselayout
needs to be cleaned out so a "bare bone" is left.

This would be useful as an arch tester because snapshots could be made of
various stages and tested.

George
