 Posted: Mon Oct 06, 2008 9:26 am Post subject: How to exclude a package from depclean [solved] |
 |
|
I've just ran emerge --depclean on my system and it wants to remove the following packages:
| Code: | sys-apps/hdparm
selected: 8.6
protected: none
omitted: none
sys-libs/db
selected: 4.3.29-r2
protected: none
omitted: 4.5.20_p2-r1
dev-lang/python
selected: 2.4.4-r13
protected: none
omitted: 2.5.2-r7
sys-kernel/gentoo-sources
selected: 2.6.24-r8
protected: none
omitted: 2.6.25-r8
www-apps/joomla
selected: 1.5.5 1.5.6
protected: none
omitted: 1.5.7 |
I particularly want to exclude the gentoo-sources from being removed for my currently installed kernel. Is there any way I can exclude it so that it's not removed as part of depclean?

if --depclean wants to remove a package, then it is not a dependency of an explicitly installed package or a explicitly installed package itself.
so, explicitly emerge this exact version, and --depclean won't remove it. |

| Code: | | emerge --noreplace gentoo-sources:2.6.24-r8 |
should do it. |

Not sure I understand, but when I do:
| Code: | | emerge --depclean --noreplace gentoo-sources:2.6.24-r8 -pv |
it then omits the other packages and wants to remove this one. I also tried it without the --noreplace as well. This is the package I want to keep, and remove the others.
EDIT:
Never mind me 
I did the --noreplace first now, followed by the depclean as two separate commands, and it worked how it should do.
