Hi,
does anybody know about an easy method to remove all entries from
/var/lib/portage/world
which would have been pulled in anyway
even if they were not contained in world.
My current attempt would be to write a script
which executes emerge -vpc on each entry in world.
If it wouldn't be removed it's obsolete in world.
Unfortunately this has to be done in several rounds.
Many thanks for a hint,
Helmut.
Hi,
I wanted to add, that a minimal world in my opinion isn't always what
you want. For example in the time I searched for a suitable window
manager for me I did a lot of depclean these days and accidently removed
the xserver. There was no harm done, but I figured, that my world file
should contain all packages, that should never removed automatically
unless I want to. This way there is a little less danger involved using
depclean. So this type of work might only be done by hand.
