Description Keepun 2014-03-12 00:03:14 UTC 
I don't want to install games from KDE and GNOME.

It is better to add more USE-flags to meta-packages for a flexible choice of components.
Comment 1 Alex Xu (Hello71) 2014-03-12 00:09:56 UTC 
jer, should these be two bugs?

herds, is this even feasible? I see few existing USE flags on these two metas, so perhaps upstreams want them to be all-in-one.
Comment 2 Pacho Ramos gentoo-dev 2014-03-12 06:54:30 UTC 
Umm: USE="-games" in gnome-extra-apps already does it

"It's usually a good idea to start with kdebase-meta and install the additional software when needed" [1]
