[gentoo-user] How to update (only) all installed KDE packages

[gentoo-user] How to update (only) all installed KDE packages

[Helmut Jarausch]

Hi,

I'd like to upgrade all my installed package from, say, kde-base/* .
emerge -u kde-base/kde-meta doesn't work unfortunately.

Is there something easier than 
eix --only-names -I 'kde-base/*' | xargs emerge -uv1 -j4 --keep-going

Many thanks for a hint,
Helmut.

emerge -u @kde

if you have used sets and a recent portage version this should work nicely.

Thanks, I had hoped that, but where is the set '@kde'

I have portage-2.2_63 but
emerge --list-sets
only reports

downgrade
installed
live-rebuild
module-rebuild
preserved-rebuild
rebuilt-binaries
security
selected
system
unavailable
world

because of the KDE overlay (and qt and X) 
but you could create your own set in /etc/portage/sets

or you could unpack that tarball I send you off list in /etc/portage/sets

Try emerge -u $(qlist -IC kde-base/)
