|
|
I don't play games and don't use evolution w/ gnome, but just play movies and do some management.
Once I install or upgrade gnome, there are so many apps those don't use will be emerged at the same time, and will cost so much time to build.
Can I avoid emerging those apps? Why don't Gentoo set some USE flags to close these apps?
Of cause there is a gnome-light package I can emerge, but there still so many tools I need to emerge by hand, and maybe some tools I found usefull in gnome but I don't know what the package name to be emerged additional to gnome-light. |

you could always make a local repository and put the ebuilds in there, and then edit out the requirement of evolution and games from what ever ebuild pulls them in, a bit of a mess about i know, but its something im looking into as there is loads of apps that get pulled in i just dont need/use _________________ I know 43 ways to kill with a SKITTLE, so taste my rainbow bitch. |

I have that problem with the comp back home. On this one I use gnome-light, use the online package database [gnome-utils, gnome-extras] to figure out what additional packages you need. _________________

So, gnome-utils, gnome-extras can tell me what additional package can be used? |

Run "emerge --verbose --pretend --emptytree gnome", and check the results
for the packages you don't want. Then write a script to emerge the remaining
packages piecemeal.

you can try gnome-light, it'll install all the basic packages of gnome (without gaming nor evolution). Then you can install all the remaining packages |
