Patch for kde-apps-meta-16.12.3-r1.ebuild

kde-apps-meta pulls in kdeedu-meta and kdegames-meta, which not everybody wants.
This patch introduces two new use flags 'education' and 'games' to kde-apps-meta which control these dependencies.

Thanks, but if you want to pick only select meta slices, you may as well emerge those smaller meta packages instead.

Patch for kde-apps-meta-16.12.3-r1.ebuild

Set flags education and games by default. This ensures the patched build behaves as the old one per default.

Did not read your comment before submitting the last patch, so disregard it.

Sorry to hear that. Will go with a local portage overlay for now.

But what for? Just create a custom set in /etc/portage/sets and add only those -meta ebuilds that you want to have installed, problem solved.

Thanks, I did not know I could do that, I might try.
