Rebuild KDE, etc. without sound?

[ibrandt]

Hi,

On a fresh install of 1.4 I emerged kde with sound/media related use flags such as: alsa, arts, esd, nas, oggvorbis, oss, and others. I'd now like to rebuild kde, et all without sound related support. My problem is I can't seem to figure out how to do this. An unmerge or update of kde just does the kde package itself, and adding the --emptytree option goes way overboard including dependencies all the way down to the base system.

Is there a way to query for the packages that directly depend on particular use flags so I can unmerge them, and then query for and update the packages that depended on those with the said use flags disabled in make.conf? (Or is there another way to get what I'm after here?).

Another interesting thing I noted, when I do: 'emerge --pretend --update kde --emptytree' it still lists arts and oggvorbis even though I now have those disabled in make.conf?

Thanks,

Ian

do : emerge -pe kde
u will see all package installed to make kde run with your actual USE.

disable USE u dont want in make.* and do again emerge -pe kde

some packages have disappear...
these are USE relative.

ogg is needed by kde whatever is your flag(because of noatun i think).

Hi,

Thanks for the reply, but this is what I meant when I said,

[girafon]

i did it, and it took 5 hours.

i didn't say re-emerge every thing.
compare the both lists, with ans without USE options...
unmerge the difference
re-emerge kde package by package (lib, base, )
