Thank you for the uesful inshght.

 genlop just says:
#genlop --list --date 01/01/2020 01/01/2021
Date 2020010100:00:00 is in the future, not good

I got a list of packages with this:

#genlop --list | grep 2020 |cut -b 38- | emerge >2020list

Is it possible to run emerge using a list of files as input?  Or stdin?
