Cascading yes, but I'd say no to the find-command. You should be able |
| 10 |
to ask portage itself. After all, it has to know your current system |
| 11 |
set for its own work, let it do the cascading calculations (unions for |
| 12 |
sets): |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
emerge -p @system |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
And even better, if I read correctly from portage man-page (look for |
| 17 |
the "packages" and packages.build file section there), it is nearly |
| 18 |
trivial to add files to a local system set. Just add |
| 19 |
asterisk-prepended lines to /etc/portage/profile/packages. Just tried |
| 20 |
it, it seems to work, got python and games-board/megamek added to my |
| 21 |
system set according to emerge -p @system! :D |

Gentoo <3 Can't live without it once you start to see just what all is |
| 24 |
configurable. :D |
