Message-ID: <C42D120999B1CC4C886B6BB2832F356019B2E3@HERMES.genomatica.com> (raw)

I figured out a few things that will help, but haven't spent more then a few minutes on it so far. It looks like to build a specific ebuild you need to feed it to emerge like this:

emerge sys-apps/less/less-358-r3.ebuild

So, taking the output of '/usr/lib/portage/bin/pkglist | sort' which gives you lines like:

sys-apps/less-358-r3
sys-apps/net-tools-160-r1

And then modifying them to look like:

sys-apps/less/less-358-r3.ebuild
sys-apps/net-tools/net-tools-160-r1.ebuild

Doing an "emerge -p" on them letting people "ok" or even add and remove some things at this point.....Then do the real thing. There may be an order that is wise here. I.e. gcc first......

I recently started using gentoo, and love it.  I'm working on learning the ebuild, emerge and portage system right now, and I'll see if I can figure out how to do something like this.  I figure it'll be a great way to learn the system, and give back to the community!!!!

I'm not gonna guarentee anything, but I'll see what I can do.
