I see "inherit kde4-meta" in the khelpcenter ebuild, but I don't know what inherit means here. > I wonder if the devs know about all this? Is this something they should > know about? Is this unique to me? I have KDE installed by using the > kde-meta but surely I'm not the only one that uses it. @system also pulls in some KDE stuff here. I don't have time to fully investigate this, after a short look it seems to me that gawk pulls in gettext, that needs git, git wants subversion, and that has the kde USE flag. So subversion pulls in kwalletd and kdelibs, and those need some more KDE stuff. Looks like normal behaviour to me. @system should be a small set, but when some packages in @system have kde USE flags, they will pull in KDE stuff. Wonko
