why is it required to install evolution with gnome?
i cant even unmerge it.. cause it comes back with world
| Code: | darkstar / # equery d evolution
[ Searching for packages depending on evolution... ]
gnome-base/gnome-2.8.3-r1
gnome-base/gnome-panel-2.8.3
gnome-extra/evolution-webcal-2.0.1
mail-client/evolution-2.0.4
net-im/gaim-1.3.0
|
how is gaim dependant on it?!
i never use it.. so is there a way to get rid of it competely and cleanly?
EDIT: and because of this crappy package.. i need to have spasmassassin and ssmtp which i never use or even knew i had  |

Evolution is the default mail client for the GNOME desktop. If you don't want to use it then use the gnome-base/gnome-light meta package instead of the gnome-base/gnome one. i.e. | Code: | # emerge -C gnome
# emerge -v gnome-light |
As to why gaim is dependent on it - check your USE flags. The "eds" USE flag is for Evolution Data Server. Remove this from your USE flags, then re-emerge gnome-panel and gaim to remove their dependency. |

I had the same problem and tried to solve it by masking off evolution. Now I realize why that doesn't work -- it just blocks gnome from being updated. So thanks for the answer. I'll switch to gnome-light, but I wondered what else I was giving up. The only way I could figure out how to do this was to compare the output of the following:
| Code: | emerge --tree --pretend --update gnome
emerge --tree --pretend --update gnome-light |
This removes at least one thing I'd like to keep: nautilus-cd-burner. I suppose I could just manually emerge that after I switch. Is there a better way to excercise more control over this? Are details on these and other meta packages documented somewhere that I just haven't found yet?
thesnowman - Just curious: how did you know this?
--gracias in advance,
Don |

Because Gnome is meta package. When you do 'emerge gnome' you say 'portage, gimme all of gnome'.
Nothing prevents you from
1) emerging the gnome packages one-by-one, to get only what you want.
2) emerging an other meta-ebuild, like gnome-light
3) emerging a meta-ebuild, then unmergeing the meta-ebuild, and any parts of gnome you don't like. With the meta-ebuild gone they won't come back.

In the RDEPEND clause of the ebuild. For example for Gnome 2.10.1_pre0, it is :
