kde:4 won't work as the package "kde" does exist but there is no SLOT=4 for it |
| 18 |
(it's the old monolithic package for <=kde-3.5.9). |

You have to list each package you don't want individually - the reverse of |
| 21 |
what bleeding edge users have to do to unmask the latest greates packages as |
| 22 |
they hit the tree. |

Easiest is to use autounmask but send the output to package.mask. |

| 26 |
You could also use a combination of find $PORTDIR and sed, but that's painful. |
