 |
|
If you don't have qpkg, emerge gentoolkit. Then try
| Code: | | qpkg -nc -q -I -v PACKAGE | grep '^[a-z]' | sed 's/^/=/' | xargs emerge unmerge |
where PACKAGE is the name of the meta-package you want to remove (like "gnome"). This will unmerge PACKAGE, along with all packages depending on it. As always, use the -p flag with emerge beforehand to make sure you're not going to nuke anything important.
Hope this helps! |

Looks pretty good. I tried it with the KDE meta that I have installed and the only packages that were shown were the ones from the meta build. Thanks for the tip.

I read that this is being referred to as a 'simple solution' elsewhere.
While not adverse to command line wizardry, 'simple' would be having an 'emerge uninstall' or similar command that produces the same net effect.
from a victim of 'emerge depclean'...

I haven't tried it, but that would be my guess.
