I don't remember the original post but if I understand you correctly, it |
20 |
should be sufficient to replace your /etc/portage/package.keywords with |
21 |
the output of this command: |
22 |
|
23 |
eix --installed-testing --format '=<installedversions:NAMEVERSION>' |
24 |
--pure-packages |
25 |
|
26 |
You can then use eix-test-obsolete to find obsolete masks and other cruft. |
