6 Aah, good to see that you're picking up one of the more useful Paludis
7 features.

9 For those who aren't aware of how Paludis handles this... File sets are
10 a text file that live in repodir/sets/ or confdir/sets/ and are named
11 setname.conf. Lines can be in the form *atom , which means "include
12 atom in the set", or ?atom , which means "include atom in the set only
13 if the package represented by atom is already installed".
14
15 The big difference between paludis --install setname and paludis
16 --install $(< setfile), aside from the *? support, is that the former
17 won't reinstall packages that don't need upgrading, and the latter
18 will. It's the same as emerge world vs emerge $(< worldfile), the
19 latter being similar to emerge -e world...
