No: of course, I 'emerge -1' when the pkg is not marked 'W/S' in my pkg.ref. Currently, 'world' lists 97 pkgs ; pkg.ref lists 513 pkgs. > ... and no easy way to identify redundant and unused libs? This is clear when a pkg is listed by 'eix-sync' but not 'emerge -Dup world': then I can use 'equery d' to check whether anything depends on it. If I remove a pkg by 'emerge -C', I move it to a "removed" list in pkg.ref with the date I removed it & what it was installed for, just in case something breaks (eg removing Ghostscript breaks printing): REMOVED 080113 sys-apps/setarch-2.0 [for util-linux : conflict] 080301 x11-libs/motif-config-0.10-r2 [for openmotif : conflict] 080419 sys-apps/mktemp-1.5 [for debianutils] 080425 sys-libs/db-4.3.29-r2 [for python?] This way, I should always know exactly what is installed & why: if not, it's my own fault for being careless.
