I use sets for that. Create a file in /etc/portage/sets containing the atom of the package(s) you want to install. You can either add comments to this file or give it an explanatory name (or both), then emerge @setname. I used to use --oneshot for testing, but testing something with a lot of dependencies made --depclean useless, so I use temporary sets now. --=20 Neil Bothwick I am Barry Norman of the Borg - you will be assimilated - and why not? --Sig_/4/tPkUYt+VjdgrDXH2vRQSG Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.13 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAksc3QQACgkQum4al0N1GQNQlwCguQeD8DNRVNbZCHNF8gh9kezz kFEAoLAkuRVYXK8dl29bNhP085r4+Cq5 =2joo -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/4/tPkUYt+VjdgrDXH2vRQSG--
