[gentoo-user] How to acchieve the opposite of 'provided'...so to say ?

[meino.cramer]

Hi,

I want to make certain packages immune against "emerge --depclean"
even when startet without "--pretend" (or other actions to remove
packages which emerge evaluates as obsoloted and no longe in use).

How can I acchieve this?

Thank you very much for any help in advance!
Have a nce sunday!
Best regards,
mcc

Put those packages in world

If you don't want to clutter your world file, create a custom set
in /etc/portage/sets/ and put that set in world. Same overall effect
with some extra nice categorization

emerge -n package

Nothing in the world files is ever depcleaned.

emerge --noreplace <package name>. If you do it that way you will not
have to rebuild it!
