 |

did an emerge --sync && emerge -puvD world yesterday. Suddenly:

<snip>
|
huh?
I don't want rsh on my boxen. I don't want r-anything on my boxen.
| Code: | # equery depends netkit-rsh
[ Searching for packages depending on netkit-rsh... ]
#
|
Only thing I can figure is someone for some reason decided it needed to be part of the base install? Is that right? And if so, why? And where are such things documented?
I can mask it off of course, but I'm mystified as to why someone make such an id...er, I'm mystified as to why. |

Good question, I was wondering too.
You can still update without -D though.

To find out what's trying to pull in a package, you can run emerge with the -t option and either -p or -a. In this case, it's probably x11-apps/xinit, which recently had a dep on x11-apps/xsm and in turn rsh added; you can remove the dependancy by adding | Code: | | x11-apps/xinit minimal |
to /etc/portage/package.use. However, that will also remove the dependancies on x11-wm/twm, x11-apps/xclock and x11-apps/xrdb, so if you use any of those you might want to run | Code: | | emerge --noreplace (whatever) |
to add it to your world file. |

Ok, seems to be a dependency of another 'new' requirement: x11-apps/xsm
| Code: |
# emerge -pvuD xsm
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild N ] net-misc/netkit-rsh-0.17-r6 USE="-pam" 0 kB
[ebuild N ] x11-apps/xsm-1.0.1 USE="-debug -xprint" 114 kB
Total size of downloads: 114 kB
leeamlp xsm # equery depends xsm
[ Searching for packages depending on xsm... ]
# |
Not only that, it apparently installs at least rexec also. wtfo??
As seen, I can't determine the dependency of xsm so it's probably included in the modular xorg-x11 'meta-build' (is that the right term?)
If that's so, I'd sure like to know why. Seems pretty...um...incredible?....to me. In the meantime, the xsm gets masked off.

Thanks dleverton. I didn't see your post before I posted mine.
My incredulity at rsh/rexec still stands.
I guess my deeper question is what happened to the idea of a basic install that we could build on? The standard install seems to be getting as bloated as an otc distro.
Are we now supposed to do a stage1 and then use 'minimal' profile to build on?

Yea, I just saw this too and absolutely do not want netkit-rsh:
| Code: | ...
[nomerge ] x11-apps/xinit-1.0.2-r6 USE="-debug -minimal"
[ebuild N ] x11-apps/xsm-1.0.1 USE="-debug -xprint" 114 kB
[ebuild N ] net-misc/netkit-rsh-0.17-r6 USE="pam" 74 kB
... |

Also why xsm all of a sudden. I've never needed it before so why now all of a sudden. |

| Thanks for the work-around. I too do NOT want rsh/rlogin/rexec on my system, and I'd been un-merging them explicitly after each emerge world since they started appearing... |
