[gentoo-user] can emerging git really require 121 pkgs?

2014-12-14 Thread Harry Putnam
Even on a fairly bare new install slowly being brough up to desired
setup it seems like reqiring 116 new pkgs to install dev-vcs/git is
bit much.

But:
  Total: 121 packages (3 upgrades, 116 new, 2 in new slots),
Size of downloads: 20,759 kB

Even with USE="-X" its still 104

Whereas bzr and mercurial require about 5 each

Can that be right?

Oh, and also includes somekind of slotting mess involving different
versions of perl

At some point I will actually need git but for now bzr and mercurial
will do.

USE=perl is responsible for some of them, but you also want it set if
you actually intend to use git.

The rest look like they're being pulled in with USE=gtk, which in turn
requires the Xorg stuff. Passing "--tree" to emerge will either confirm,
or surprise you, who knows.

I'm curious about your portage output, mind telling me 1) your exact portage 
version, 2) and if you have anything in package.(accept_)keywords related to 
virtual/perl*, dev-lang/perl, or perl-core/* ?!

background: 

[ebuild  N ] virtual/perl-File-Spec-3.480.0  0 kB

should never be pulled in on a stable system (but portage does not mark it 
with a ~ as unstable, weird...

=dev-lang/perl-5.20.1* required by (virtual/perl-File-
Spec-3.480.0::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge)

is then just a consequence of above oddity...

TIA, Andreas
