[edit] Meta Packages

KDE uses meta packages which are packages that install nothing themselves, but rather drag in other packages as dependencies. To get the whole KDE you may type emerge kde-meta. As of 5 January 2006 the meta packages were:

kdeaccessibility-meta kdeaddons-meta kdeadmin-meta kdeartwork-meta kdebase-meta

kdebindings-meta kdeedu-meta kdegames-meta kde-meta

kdemultimedia-meta kdenetwork-meta kdepim-meta kdegraphics-meta

kdesdk-meta kdetoys-meta kdeutils-meta kdewebdev-meta
