[gentoo-user] Unwanted fonts

[Peter Humphrey]

Hello list,

Has anyone found a way to exclude media-fonts/noto from a Plasma system? 
They're a 1GB download and I have no intention of ever using them - DejaVu 
suits me perfectly.

-- 
Regards,
Peter.

If they're actually not in use, try package.provided.

# echo "media-fonts/noto" >> /etc/portage/profile/package.provided
# emerge -C media-fonts/noto

Ah! Good idea, though I had to give a version as well:
# cat /etc/portage/profile/package.provided
media-fonts/noto-20220912

That means I'll be tripped up at the next noto update. Thanks for the idea 
though.

Could you add ">media-fonts/noto-20220912" to package.mask? That (by my 
understanding) would keep new versions from being installed.

Noto and Hack media-fonts are listed as reverse dependencies for kde-plasma/
plasma-integration.  With no USE flag to exclude them being available at 
present, the package.provided solution can be used.

Yes, I've done that, and now it should blow up in my face when I try to 
upgrade noto to the next version. Better than quietly ignoring me, as it 
were...

Reverse? Plasma-integration depends on those fonts, not the other way round.

~ $ qdepends -d plasma-integration | grep noto
~ $ 

You can check the ebuild for plasma-integration.

RDEPEND is a run-time dependency. A reverse dependency would appear in
the noto ebuild.

Oops!  Sorry, I misread the variable.  Thanks Neil.  :-)
