Not all -meta packages behave like that - eg. the gst-plugins-meta package only pulls in, what's wanted (per USE flags). > If you want to pick and > choose, emerge the packages you want, there's no need to add extra USE > flags and another layer of complexity when the current system handles > both all-in-one and selective installs just fine. Well, I disagree. I want to install almost all of the KDE stuff, but eg. not the PPP things, as I've got not use for that on that system. But I still would like my world file *NOT* to be cluttered with a gazillion of kde packages. The current system absolutely does not handle that just fine.
