hi,
I'd like to remove unneeded entries on package.keywords and I was wondering if there's some program to do that (or if it's a good idea for me to try to do it ). for example, I may have:


=www-client/mozilla-firefox-3.6
but later (hopefully) this package will be unmasked and that entry becomes totally useless. and I may also unmask an ebuild without a version, and some time later this ebuild will have no keyworded version, so that package.keywords entry will be useless too.


see you,

This should work.

eix-test-obsolete

Be prepared for a LONG list tho. It prints a LOT on mine. I would also
recommend you save a copy of those files just in case.


Hope that helps.

That just means you have a lot of cleaning up to do :P

I wonder how much deeper would the ocean be without sponges.

True but if the OP hasn't cleaned his before, he may very well have a
lot of cleaning to do as well. I clean mine every few months and it
still has some size to the output. It just depends on how much as went
stable since adding a package to one or more of those files.


It is handy tho. I'm glad someone wrote that little program.

When maintaining a Gentoo system, little and often usually take less time
in the ling run. I get emailed the results of eix-test-obsolete,
revdep-rebuild -p and a couple of other checks from each computer each
week. Most weeks I just scan the mails and move on as nothing is
reported. Occasionally I remove a line or two from /etc/portage/*, which
is far less work than trying to decipher the mess after leaving it for
several months.
