Say an admin has a server setup and wants an easy way to monitor a
certain group of packages for updates so he/she can choose to ignore or
update.
my list = [apache, mod_1, mod_2, mysql, webapp1, webapp2,...]
having them grouped into one list and doing an:
# emerge -up --list mylist
would indicate easily if any packages in the special list are upgradable
irregardless of whether it is in world, system, whatever.
How about the admin just has a 1 line bash script that says
emerge -up --list apache, mod_1, mod_2, mysql, webapp1, webapp2,...
Why create functionality that can easily be accomplished without new
functionality?
