10 An easier way to go about this is to simply create an ebuild which depends on
11 all the packages which you want - this way you can use emerge -u to upgrade
12 all the packages. An example of this is the kde package which simply depends
13 on the individual kde components. This allows you to use all the flexibility
14 of emerge.
