1) i always wondered (or i've always wondered...nice beginning, 20% more chance of making myself understood... ) how i can tell emerge not to update some applications when i'm doing an "emerge -u world" if those aren't in /var/cache/edb/world. for example:
| Code: | [ebuild UD] dev-libs/libxml2-2.5.1 [2.5.2]
[ebuild U ] gnome-base/gnome-vfs-2.2.1 [2.2.0]
[ebuild N ] gnome-extra/gnome-games-2.2.0
[ebuild N ] gnome-base/nautilus-2.2.0.2
[ebuild U ] gnome-base/gnome-2.2-r1 [2.2]
|
i don't want to emerge gnome-games and nautilus (i unmerged them personally), but i think they're related to gnome-2.2-r1. how can i tell emerge to ignore these apps? as i said, they arent in /var/cache/edb/world, but i don't want it to remember it to me anymore.
2) i read in the "use howto":
| Quote: | gtk Adds support for x11-libs/gtk+ (The GIMP Toolkit)
gtk2 use gtk+-2.0.0 over gtk+-1.2 in cases where a program supports both. beware that gtk+-2 support can be bad. |
why is it bad? this explanation is not very clear, thus i'm still wondering what to write among the USE options...up to now i've just "gtk"...
thank you for your help!

You'll probably have to edit your gnome ebuild, not to depend on gnome-games. Or, just update, and then unmerge again.

I think I can answer one of your questions.
There is enough of a difference between GTK 1.x and GTK 2 that software written to use GTK 1.x won't always work with GTK 2. Forcing your software to compile with GTK2 support could lead to buggy, unstable programs.

Use "emerge inject" (see emerge --help)
