how do I remove evolution from gnome?

Hi list(s),

I was looking through the dynamic USE flag page (
http://www.ge
ntoo.org/dyn/use-index.xml ), and noticed there were
some
flags that brought in evolution support... but after
realising I don't
used evolution (as I am happy with thunderbird), I was
wondering how
to remove evolution from gnome once and for all...

The solution would be something along the lines of:

# USE="-something" emerge -DNuva world
# emerge -P something_else

That was I was hoping that if I was going to -DNuva on world
again, it
would not brought in again... I know I would be editing
/etc/make.conf
to make it more permanent than just doing it before the
emerge world
command...

It's just that I'm having a hard time from figuring out
which USE
flags (if any) to remove to get rid of evolution...

Any suggestions?

TIA,

...Ric

Here's the ebuilds that pull in evolution:

Since Gnome is the one pulling in evolution and since
Gnome-light doesn't, I 
would suggest you emerge -uDNav world, then emerge
--depclean --ask then 
revdep-rebuild to make sure that the later emerge --depclean
shows only the 
difference. If there are any packages in emerge --depclean
that you want to 
keep, emerge --noreplace them.
Then emerge -C gnome&&emerge gnome-light. emerge
--depclean --pretend will 
then show you the difference between the two gnomes. Note
the packages you 
want to *keep*. Then emerge --noreplace them to re-add them
to your world 
file. When you're done, evolution and any other packages you
want to get rid 
of should be the only packages shown in emerge --depclean
--ask. Answer y.
