So maybe this could be satisified by allowing user-defined categories |
| 8 |
of packages beyond system and world? Something like world, system, |
| 9 |
fragile, non-fragile? |

I think you could probably implement something like this yourself with |
| 12 |
a bit of trickery with the /var/lib/portage/world list. You could |
| 13 |
copy world to non-fragile, remove anything that you consider fragile |
| 14 |
from it, and then do an "automatic" update with: |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
cp /var/lib/portage/world /var/lib/portage/world.bak |
| 17 |
cp /var/lib/portage/non-fragile /var/lib/portage/world |
| 18 |
emerge -DNuv world |
| 19 |
cp /var/lib/portage/world.bak /var/lib/portage/world |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
A similar script for the fragile packages would let you update those |
| 22 |
as a group, obviously using the -p and/or --ask options as you like. |

Going back to -user now... |
