Hi,
This may be a stupid question and perhaps nothing that's recommended to do but: Is it possible to make emerge take a file list as argument? I've been searching gentoo forums and the internet but I haven't found any solution. What I'm thinking of is if it's possible to pipe a file with packages listed to the emerge command?
U probably didn't find it, because it's really basic unix knowledge :-),
to find, which pedal in a car is the brake or clutch one is probably also difficult on inet ... i.e. man bash is a *must* reading !
If u know only M$ "bat" syntax, u'll feel like Alice in Wonderworld,
belive me :-).
As Matt adviced, emerge `cat file_list` is what u need.
And just for completness:
or emerge $(cat file_list) (this is the same in another syntax)
or cat file_list | xargs emerge (sometimes very helpfull construction)
