You can create a set containing a list of packages. I do this for |
| 24 |
dependencies of packages that are not from portage, so they don't get |
| 25 |
depcleaned and don't end up in @world. Something like |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
% cat /etc/portage/sets/dependencies |
| 28 |

|
| 35 |
Then emerge -n @dependencies |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
sets.conf is used for other types of definition, I stop older kernels |
| 38 |
being depcleaned with |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
% cat /etc/portage/sets.conf |
| 41 |
[kernels] |
| 42 |
class = portage.sets.dbapi.OwnerSet |
| 43 |
world-candidate = False |
| 44 |
files = /usr/src |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
then emerge -n @kernels |
| 47 |
