Emerge KDE in seperate parts.

Hi.

Is it possible to install just a few packages of KDE or do I always have to install it as a whole? For instance, if I just want to install KEdit, I always also get e.g. KOffice. Of course, I need the KDE Base packages, but I don't want all the optional packages.

put "-kde" in your use flags.

eg:

export DO_NOT_COMPILE="koffice kfoo kbar ketc..." emerge kdebase

Thanks a lot.
But GentooBox, if I'd put the "-kde" flag to my USE variables, then emerge is not going to install any of the kde-base packages, right?

Pythonhead: It would be nice if there's an export variable like DO_COMPILE="...", is there one?
Because I just want to tell emerge exactly which packages it should install.
And there comes the next Problem:
How do I know which packages are distributed with gentoo?
Is there some way to list all packages e.g. from the kdegames ebuild-file?

KDE Program Documentation has the list you need.

Well, now that's a good thing to know

Thank you.

The only thing I got to do now, is to recompile all kde packages or can I just deinstall unwanted packages, like Koffice?

I don't suppose an "emerge unmerge KOffice" will do that, right? :lol:
