Portage could be given 2 new option's: --nonworld, to exclude a package from being included in the world file when specifically emerged. Instead of manually editing the world file afterwards. --include {world,system,myclass1,myclass2,etc.} for portage to add the package to whichever list(s) are specified. If myclass is not found, then create it and add the pkg. The devs may of course want to exclude world(duplication) and system from the acceptable list(used as known values for example). -- Brian -- gentoo-portage-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
