Hi

I've installed several packages in /usr/local,

I would like to run "emerge --depclean". But "emerge -pv --depclean" says it wants to remove the packages in my Localoverlay in /usr/local.

Could some please provide advice on how to Protect my local overlay packages installed in /usr/local from being uninstalled by "emerge --depclean"?

Thanks

Usually depclean remove all dependencies that aren't used by anyone, then you should add this in world file (or in a set) with emerge --noreplace package.

That's not how it works - you can't protect the repository source from --depclean, nothing is cleaned up there anyway.

Packages that you don't want to have depcleaned should be registered in your world file or part of a local set.
