That souds pretty interesting (eix-sync).

Perhaps you would like to run: ># emerge --prune --verbose --ask gentoo-sources > ( `pwd` is /usr ) du -sh src 1.9G src I do need to prune some of the older kernels out of there. But I don't want to get rid of all of them but the most recent. Is there a way that I can "protect" or "omit" 2.6.13-r3 from the emerge --prune process and remove the rest? Does this work with other slotted packages? How do I know which ones are slotted and which ones aren't? - -- gentux echo "hfouvyAdpy/ofu" | perl -pe 's/(.)/chr(ord($1)-1)/ge' gentux's gpg fingerprint ==> 34CE 2E97 40C7 EF6E EC40 9795 2D81 924A 6996 0993 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFD9Pu4LYGSSmmWCZMRAlYDAKCupyCuyn1BNp71983qzFuIh+BbLQCfaRkX JzIPpu+McGV/NXodluO8Phk= =5IIv -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
