Hello,<br><br>I&#39;ve just sync&#39;d my machine, and realized I&#39;m pulling in a few packages from the devnull overlay that I would rather not. freetype / fontconfig / cairo for example and it&#39;s causing <br>some conflicts when I try to update (-auvND world). I mainly use devnull for uzbl, dmenu, and my window manger awesome, as they tend to have the latest versions. <br>
<br>If I remove devnull, will these packages continue being maintained by portage? I don&#39;t mind getting these packages from portage if it means less hassle when I update, but the docs <br>suggest that I remove every package that I&#39;ve installed from devnull before moving forward. This seems like a tremendous hassle, but perhaps there&#39;s a one-shot command for doing this? <br>
<br>I&#39;m surprised packages in overlays take precedence over portage. Is there any way to get a single package from an overlay without taking &quot;everything&quot; ? <br><br>Kind regards,<br>-Alan<br><br>
