This won't work, I think, since depend atoms include the category name |
| 13 |
so if one package in the new category depends on another one, it will |
| 14 |
use the standard category rather than the symlinked one in the new |
| 15 |
category. |

However with regards the original question about adding '--list |
| 18 |
<file>' to emerge, you can of course to package lists yourself anyway |
| 19 |
as portage exists today. Just create a file with a list of atoms in |
| 20 |
it, and do for example: |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
# cat <file> | xargs emerge -puv |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
Doesn't get much easier than that - perhaps I'm missing something :) |
