Hello,
Here is one-liner which can be helpful if you want to trim down your gentoo
installation, particulary /usr/portage directory and/or lower emerge
--sync times / save bandwidth (requires app-portage/portage-utils):

metadata/dtd**\n+ metadata/glsa**\n+ metadata/news**\n+ scripts**"; for
f in `qlist -IC | cut -f1 -d'/' | sort | uniq | sort`; do echo "+ $f**";

you need also to add this line to make.conf
PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS="--exclude-from=/etc/portage/rsync_excludes"
This is a bit short-sighted. Using this doesn't allow you to install any
additional packages (unless the package and its dependencies happen to be in the
category of a package you already have installed) and will break dep resolution
when the dependencies change for any packages that you currently have installed.
