I thank the four of you for the insight I learn more in 5 mins then I did in an afternoon,I have two last question tho
> As a example, if you want a > full KDE install, you just emerge the kde meta package and it gets > recorded in the world file. The emerge command will take care of all > the other packages that depend on the meta package. That is a LOT of > packages too > Theoretically I can make my own meta package and place in the localrepo I have and set it to pull packages from the official repos Firstly is there any dependency hell that I can fall into when placing lots of different packages with (unexpectedly) conflicting deps on my own meta package?Has anyone (reading this) that has done it before and worked out a niche way to avoid falling into that trap? Secondly(I know I will surely find this one in the wiki but)can I set a priority to pull from the local repo first if package exists and then have the official repo as a backup? Lastly thank you for your previous replies forgot to add it on my last mail and I didnt want to bloat the mailing list like im editing a forum post with asterisks :D .. .Thank you (ah I'm learning)
