This may be a stupid question and perhaps nothing that's recommended to do

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?
   

I've used;
$ emerge `cat package_list`
before, and I seem to recall that working :)
 

Take a look at this bug report:

http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13940

It shows a slightly different approach that's worked well for me.

Thanks,

Doug
