Re: [gentoo-user] gnome-games
I'm going to update first a test machine see how it acts and then if all goes well, let the clients true a script doe a emerge of binary packages (that i create) and also send the new config files. The only problem left is that for the portage the config files are out of date, could this be a problem ? I don't know, time will show me. All of this is just in a test fase and not fully inplemented.

Probably something like emerge -i gnome-extra/gnome-games-3.0.0 As long as it had a higher version number that the gnome-games that would be installed you should be good.

Hi, I'm trying to create an automatic emerge -U --deep -world for several clients, the one of the problems i got is gnome-games, every emerge wants to install the games, and because its for a company the games should not be installed.

As I understand it, Gentoo's policy is not to pass judgment upon what the upstream developers consider "standard" parts of their distribution. This is a Good Thing (tm) IMHO. For every person who whinges (bitterly, like a little girl) that the Gnome games are included, there would be someone else who would complain were they neglected. Should you require other parts of Gnome without Gnome-games, I suggest you emerge those parts separately - I think that `emerge gnome-desktop` will pull in much of what you require.

All components that a user can expect in a gnome desktop are listed as a dependency. As the ebuild mentions, "consider only installing the parts needed for smaller installations."
