Is there a world file?

[Martux]

Hi!
I was wondering if equo also uses a "world" file like Gentoo? It is the most easy method in case of a reinstallation just to copy over that file to the new machine and update...
I am aware of

Code: Select all

equo query list installed --by-user --quiet


but that seems to give a list of all packages installed, or at least also all dependencies of manually installed packages...

[Martux]

Nobody? LOL

[Stupot]

I think the command you typed is the best one entropy currently provides. It doesn't include any upgrades, just packages and their dependencies that were installed explicitly by the user.

There isn't a world file concept that I am aware of.

[joost]

No it doesn't include the dependencies, it IS exactly what is installed by the user.

Example from my system here:
Portage world file:

Code: Select all

joost@xbox-360 ~ $ cat /var/lib/portage/world

You can use this the same way as in Portage.
If I wanted to remove x11-wm/razorqt I would do it like this:

Code: Select all

equo remove x11-wm/razorqt --deep

That way it removes the deps installed by razorqt togheter with razorqt.

[Martux]

Yeah, it may be exactly what is installed by the user, but still contains all the dependencies.
Eg. if I ty equo install mplayer, it shows all packages which get installed along with that command as well, right? Basically I am only asking because I need an easy way to install my favorite packages on different installations.
Thanks to everyone who replied!

[joost]

it shows all packages which get installed along with that command as well, right?

No. Only mplayer

[Martux]

Interesting, it gives a "little" more verbose output here. I wonder why?
I clearly only installed a few packages by hand.

[Martux]

An answer would still be very interesting. Why does joost's output clearly only show the packages installed by hand and mine also a lot of dependencies, I clearly never installed manually?

[Stupot]

I'll take another look when I get home tonight, but mine certainly included things that I did not explicitly install as well. Perhaps it is (or was) a bug.

[Stupot]

Yeah, it's definitely including more than what I explicitly installed on my system.

I'm not even sure what all of those are, but I am quite sure I didn't explicitly install all of them, such as the net-wireless stuff. In order to do a correct bug report, it would be necessary to start off with a clean install, and see what packages installed seem to add extra things though. Me simply saying this doesn't really help anything get fixed. If I get a chance, I'll test this out on a VM in the near future.
