You could create your own overlay with "meta"-ebuilds, e. g. |
| 28 |
system-maintenance, customer1, customer2. |
| 29 |
Inside the ebuilds you define depends on the packages the customer wants. |
| 30 |
Doing so you could wipe everything except the "meta"-ebuilds from world. |
| 31 |
When a customer quits you can unmerge his or her "meta"-ebuild and |
| 32 |
depclean. |
| 33 |
If you add everything needed to the respective "meta"-ebuild, you'll |
| 34 |
always be on the safe side. |
