[gentoo-user] How to unmerge kde 4.1?

[gentoo-user] How to unmerge kde 4.1?

[Roy Wright]

Howdy,

Trying to switch from kde-portage to kde-testing overlays did not
progress well.  What I'd like to do to recover is unmerge all the kde
4.1 stuff and start over.  Does anyone know a simple way (maybe a
script) to do this?  As far as I'm concerned, I'd really like to unmerge
everything installed from the overlay.

Thank you,
Roy

Since KDE 4 is still masked, I would think you could remove the keyword 
and unmask files then do a --depclean.  I would also do a -p with that 
just in case.

It's just a thought.

Edit your world file and remove all kde stuff with a 4.1 SLOT

emerge --depclean

then adapt package.{keywords,unamsk} and emerge the kde you do want

Ah, that triggered a memory and with a little checking found a problem.
 When kde-portage overlay was used, I had added a symlink:

package.unmask # ls -l
total 8
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 77 2008-08-31 18:00 kdesvn ->
/usr/portage/local/layman/kdesvn-portage/Documentation/portage/package.unmask

which is no longer available in kde-testing overlay:

package.unmask # ls /usr/portage/local/layman/kde-testing/Documentation/
kde-guide.xml  package.keywords  README  TODO

Same for package.keywords

Off to try to discover what it's all been changed to...

Thank you,
Roy

Unmerge the packages you specifically merged (kde-meta:4.1 perhaps;
whichever packages are in your world file) then run depclean. That's
how I do it.

cd to the kdesvn overlay in every category and emerge --unmerge *, then
cleanup your portage configuration files.. You can always make sure all is
fine by running depclean and then revdep-rebuild...

Thanks everyone!  I ended up using eix to find the files, then piped the
output to a file and edited to have it unmerge them.  Here's the eix
command if you are interested:

  eix -C kde-base --installed-slot 4.1 --only-names


Have fun,
Roy
