Hi!

I would like to setup some of my own meta-packages like "system" or
"world",(eg "office-workstation-kde", "firewall", "domaincontroller" ..)
but I could not find any ebuilds. 

Where and how are they defined?

thanks in advance

	Martin

An easier way to go about this is to simply create an ebuild which depends on 
all the packages which you want - this way you can use emerge -u to upgrade 
all the packages.  An example of this is the kde package which simply depends 
on the individual kde components.  This allows you to use all the flexibility 
of emerge.
