The only problem is that you have to maintain ebuilds in an overlay and run "repoman manifest" every time you create or edit a meta package. Here's an off-the-wall idea to combine the best of both worlds... * create virtual/rdepend.ebuild in the overlay * can it inherit/include an RDEPEND list from a specific text file? E.g. /etc/portage/package_rdepend * "emerge rdepend" after adding items to /etc/portage/package_rdepend * "emerge --depclean" after deleting from /etc/portage/package_rdepend -- Walter Dnes <waltd...@waltdnes.org> I don't run "desktop environments"; I run useful applications
