I would create /etc/portage/package.keywords then inside that another directory or a set of files? Say, one named KDE4 to put all of KDE4 and it's little friends and then another for some other set of packages? Is this sort of like the sets thing which I am still curious about? Right now, package.keywords and friends are files not directories. Maybe tarring up your portage directory and emailing me off list would help? I need a light bulb moment here. :/ Dale :-) :-)
