Hi
I was really looking forward to the new autounmask feature in portage,
as it replaces my ugly home-grown bash script. However, it just picks
a seemingly random file in /etc/portage/package.keywords to put things
into. Is there a way to specify which file it writes things into?
Ideally, I would like to have file names based on the package I'm
emerging, so if e.g. I do "emerge --autounmask-write=y
dev-ruby/rest-client", it should put the keywords into
/etc/portage/package.keywords/dev-ruby-rest-client or similar.
Alternatively, it would be great if I could at least get portage to
output the keywords to stdout without mixing it up with other output,
so I could redirect it to a file I want. Is there any way to do this?

I was using autounmask to do this and it does just like you want.
However, the last time I used autounmask, it was different. You may
want to try that tho to see if it helps in some way.
The feature with emerge picks the first file I think in the directory.
It is annoying as heck for sure. Since it is a work in progress, maybe
they will change this weird behavior soon.
Then again, that is yet another option to have to remember too. Jeez.
