If you use portage-2.2, sets provide an easier way to do this. A set is |
| 11 |
just a list of package atoms, one per line, in a file |
| 12 |
in /etc/portage/sets, say /etc/portage/sets/gnome. Then you just emerge |
| 13 |
@gnome. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
Unlike a versioned ebuild, there is no need to modify the set when new |
| 16 |
versions are released, the set will always use the latest matching |
| 17 |
version. |
