5 It really need to be done as part of portage, but you can get a list of
6 installed packages using:
7
8 /usr/lib/portage/bin/pkglist
9
10 and eliminate the duplicates (apart from the packages which need
11 duplicates, but that's where it starts getting messy!). Try starting with:
12
13 /usr/lib/portage/bin/pkglist | xargs emerge -p
14
15 which won't work, but gives the general approach.
