Here is one of mine: I combine these two ideas and have a set called dependencies that contains a commented list of packages that are needed by non-portage software. Then I just emerge -n @dependencies. The -n flag is useful when cleaning world, it adds the package to world without re-emerging it unnecessarily. --=20 Neil Bothwick Tact is for people who don't understand sarcasm. --Sig_/nGGn2dCmW52OqmXqo/fZrHv Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iEYEARECAAYFAlXpV5sACgkQum4al0N1GQM+aQCg0WDHfYqUw4ewPw6mE3B6m5Na gi0An1T439wI4HZDK6fn8GqrebCM/uD4 =lq2S -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/nGGn2dCmW52OqmXqo/fZrHv--
