1 I figured out a few things that will help, but haven't spent more then a few minutes on it so far. It looks like to build a specific ebuild you need to feed it to emerge like this:
2
3 emerge sys-apps/less/less-358-r3.ebuild
4
5 So, taking the output of '/usr/lib/portage/bin/pkglist | sort' which gives you lines like:
6
7 sys-apps/less-358-r3
8 sys-apps/net-tools-160-r1
9
10 And then modifying them to look like:
11
12 sys-apps/less/less-358-r3.ebuild
13 sys-apps/net-tools/net-tools-160-r1.ebuild
14
15 Doing an "emerge -p" on them letting people "ok" or even add and remove some things at this point.....Then do the real thing. There may be an order that is wise here. I.e. gcc first......

27 I recently started using gentoo, and love it. I'm working on learning the ebuild, emerge and portage system right now, and I'll see if I can figure out how to do something like this. I figure it'll be a great way to learn the system, and give back to the community!!!!

29 I'm not gonna guarentee anything, but I'll see what I can do.
