You should be able to ask portage itself. After all, it has to know your current system set for its own work, let it do the cascading calculations (unions for sets): emerge -p @system And even better, if I read correctly from portage man-page (look for the "packages" and packages.build file section there), it is nearly trivial to add files to a local system set. Just add asterisk-prepended lines to /etc/portage/profile/packages. Just tried it, it seems to work, got python and games-board/megamek added to my system set according to emerge -p @system! :D Gentoo <3 Can't live without it once you start to see just what all is configurable. :D -- Arttu V.
