I would like to know why entropy seems to be so much more eager than portage to download updates to packages that don't seem to be related to the one I want to install. Is it possible to tell entropy to be a bit more conservative? I have poor bandwidth.
for example:
- Code: Select all
duet Trunk # equo install --ask kdesvn
>> @@ These are the chosen packages:
