I have my own hand-coded script that runs "emerge --pretend --depclean" and tweaks/filters the output into another script called "cleanscript". I've set it to filter out "gentoo-sources". I then inspect "cleanscript" before running it. And, oh yeah, depclean wants to remove nano. I had to "emerge -n nano" to protect it. -- I've seen things, you people wouldn't believe; Gopher, Netscape with frames, the first Browser Wars. Searching for pages with AltaVista, pop-up windows self-replicating, trying to uninstall RealPlayer. All those moments, will be lost in time like tears in rain... time to die.
