9 Well, esync might be what you want-- it's part of gentoolkit, and while
10 it won't do any emerges for you, it will display (or mail you, which is
11 how I do it) the list of updated packages for the day, with a note as to
12 whether the package is an upgrade for your system, new to your system,
13 or the like. Here's an example of the daily mail I get when I run esync
14 as a cron job and mail myself the output:* Importing old portage tree
15
16 * Doing '/usr/bin/emerge sync' now
17
18 * Doing 'eupdatedb' now
19
20
21 * esearch-index generated in 4 minute(s) and 23 second(s)
22 * indexed 10357 ebuilds
23 * size of esearch-index: 1618 kB
24
25 * Importing new portage tree
26 * Preparing databases
27 * Searching for changes

78 The only upgrade (this is from the 27th), is firefox, but I might take a
79 look at wmail. Nothing else interesting to me on this particular list.

81 I suppose if you really felt that you wanted to have an emerge of the
82 new packages done automatically, you could always create a script to run
83 esync and mail you the output, then run emerge -uD world after esync
84 completed successfully (doesn't seem much point in using --newuse if
85 you're not going to be there to look at the output), but I prefer to do
86 my emerges manually.

88 Hope this helps,
