Excellent pro-tip for keeping your world file clean! While I personally=20 use the reverse of this (i.e. I manually add -1 to things I do not want=20 to end up in my world file) this is a lot more of a sane approach for=20 the every day person or those new to Gentoo. On a side note, '--select y' is not necessary as it is implied by '-n'. One thing I would add as well is that regular 'world' cleaning is good=20 practice to have regardless of the above. Every couple of months (on=20 average, I don't really keep track) I tend to look at my world file and=20 take note of entries that may have found their way there either=20 automatically (lack of -1) or something I used to use and no longer=20 need. These can be cleaned up with --deselect, followed by --depclean e.g= =2E: # emerge --deselect ATOM [ATOM...] # emerge -a --depclean Last time round I only deselected 2-3 packages but that removed about 30 = or so unnecessary dependencies, so pretty chuffed. Disk space is cheap=20 these days and there's little reason to be so pedantic, but I tend to=20 get quite a satisfying feeling when my system becomes 'leaner' so I do=20 it anyway. Having fewer packages installed also helps speed up portage's = dependency resolution stage during updates which is already an=20 incredibly slow process (depending on CPU's single thread performance ofc= ). - Victor --d3VSu2rdN7GM9lFeNdwqULw7lD9bwgl3q-- --d1ncyALeC5TvVVLM2ay5TdiHalKNtsolp Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="OpenPGP_signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="OpenPGP_signature" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAEBCgAdFiEEKFZblUJabdsjGSQvxx0QR+MZjnMFAl/LjlQACgkQxx0QR+MZ jnM7bBAAnfR+k2wogy3PqmYvTbc5vJmgCzH49ldXv8ijBG28pxO4+MvdmL1FlHlX NdCIWBpnViR0s4kg9QBhy6FZfNiQce4t2U72f+/o/g8lC3JgeGxSAgnln+CWumUV BYrEJ5U4dgAnfOD6d2xFX2r1yCliFYDNtPInyzS/OxJBoa/Z6nbGjdUHqIvU6QjX 52FL5A+FPx52BgLQwWwNXX+3dD44K4qqR4eNEtrmO/CG1K+tN5zo6I+Y2a5cxjBe jfU/o+MfuQgQqWNBYItLU0+i1H4kTkt3tAgdcq2a7294kqn+W0rJCgurgQYUuUAO KRiJjE/sX5fsoUPAlqO5V4rARz352VFATkusn/Ss/iufQGC6TDRAiMXhk8G9QZuH ASOsEnyL2EKut3mbmaDyNK+veieGlgazxgmnhvccBMVsGFdsbFNGVmeDpxXMx0wH WGY3t+9S+iaYUm1sXARDsNd1HmqlWv2nn5/uaGg8ZUfhisVFFiFYOh/90xwSf958 bN13lU6Edr4PSgPQs+l4kC6rUA+MavY+tvhlNmXM+2WKy+t4Jq9HYakeVWxueVhZ 5vVtzdBRmtRc12xPN48A3abs+fNi/sLsSORn4YTtg2Cy+mlzVWcWTALYRxHAJgec a05igWuk0bouXY0eqmddmUGViafWIb9q9r819rHGdfOGfiryDAU= =cRHE -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --d1ncyALeC5TvVVLM2ay5TdiHalKNtsolp--
