thanks
I'd add these to sets:
[gcc-preserve]
class = portage.sets.shell.CommandOutputSet
command = /usr/local/sbin/gcc-list
This to /usr/local/sbin/gcc-list:
#!/bin/sh
for PKG in `ls -1 /var/db/pkg/sys-devel | grep -E '^gcc-[[:digit:].]+(-r.)?$'`
do echo '=sys-devel/'${i}
done
And '@gcc-preserve' to /var/lib/portage/world_sets
Alternatively, you can define set as files in /usr/libexec/gcc:
[gcc-preserve]
class = portage.sets.dbapi.OwnerSet
world-candidate = False
files = /usr/libexec/gcc
Looks simplier, but somewhat dirty and probably a bit slower.
Thanks Mike,
I was hoping it was as simple as the kernel-sources example. I got
caught a few months back by dep cleaning gcc :( I did not want to
rebuild everything with the latest gcc at that time but my hand was
forced at that point.

[gentoo-user] Can I exclude a package from --depclean's consideration?
emerge --depclean always wants to remove all but the most recent version of gentoo-sources. I read the manpage and can't figure out how to exclude this package. The manpage states: Packages that are part of the world set will always be kept. However, if I have sys-kernel/gentoo-sources in world, it still wants to remove all but the most recent version of that package, which I think is the correct behavior... just not what I desire. For now I am working around this by placing version-specific package atoms into my world file, but I am just curious if there is a different way of masking them from depclean -- one that does not require me to manually edit my world file every time a new kernel revision is installed. So, my question: Is there a way to tell depclean to never remove *any* version of gentoo-sources? Thanks.
