kde4-minimal minimalising
HellO!
I use Openbox on my laptop, but now want to try something new. I love kde-style, but dont like the bunch of utilities with it. So, if i install kde4-minimal ill get what i want, but there is still something unnecessary like Konqueror, Klipper, Kate, Nepomuk Backup and Cleaner, Akonaditray. Can i just remove them and run pkg_delete -a after? Im asking it cuz i scare to do it on my working machine right now PS: OpenBSD 5.8 beta latest snapshot |

I have only this manually installed:
kde-l10n-ru-4.14.3p1 K Desktop Environment, language localization pack kde4-minimal-4.14.3p1 KDE4 desktop meta-package (minimal installation) kdeplasma-addons-4.14.3p2 extra KDE plasmoids So i guess everything else in the kde including Konqueror, Klipper, Kate, Nepomuk Backup and Cleaner, Akonaditray installed automatically. I thought someone did something like i want... |

If i set automatically installed package as "manual", delete it and then run pkg_delete -a it would delete only this package dependencies or i got it wrong?

Automatic packages are installed when they are dependencies of a package being installed. If package "A" and "B" are requested to be installed by a pkg_add command, both will be recorded as manual. If package "C" is a dependency of "A" or "B", but it was not named on the command line, it will be recorded as automatic when it is installed. As I've learned here today from you, all underlying packages of a meta-package such as kde4-minimal are considered automatic, as they are not named on the command line..
The only difference between an automatic and a manual package are what happens when # pkg_delete -a is executed.
Those of us who find KDE, Gnome, or XFCE integrated workstation environments too large or too busy use other window managers. OpenBSD had more than forty X11 window managers available, the last time I checked. |
