I use this set: $ cat /etc/portage/sets/plasma kde-apps/ark kde-apps/filelight kde-apps/k3b kde-apps/kdeadmin-meta kde-apps/kdecore-meta kde-apps/kdegraphics-meta kde-apps/kdepim-meta kde-apps/konqueror kde-apps/konsole kde-apps/krfb kde-apps/kwalletmanager kde-plasma/print-manager kde-plasma/spectacle kde-misc/kio-gdrive kde-plasma/plasma-meta kde-misc/kio-gdrive mail-filter/spamassassin media-fonts/dejavu I have these sets, which I use to install from scratch in stepwise fashion [1]: $ ls /etc/portage/sets apps base core plasma utils xorg > I see on my system kde-plasma/kdeplasma-addons is brought in as a dependency > of plasma-meta: > > ~ $ emerge --depclean -v -p kde-plasma/kdeplasma-addons > > Calculating dependencies... done! > kde-plasma/kdeplasma-addons-6.4.5 pulled in by: > kde-plasma/plasma-meta-6.4.5-r1 requires >=kde-plasma/kdeplasma- > addons-6.4.5:6 Yes, same here. 1.
