I run this every day to recompile from CVS. Somtimes it compiles, sometimes it doesnt, but I dont really care. I don't think it is difficult to use at all, you will rarely need to change much from the command line. The only thing that can be a bitch is making all the eapp files, but you can get other peoples' and use them. echo ">=x11-wm/e-9999 -* >=dev-db/edb-9999 -* >=dev-libs/eet-9999 -* >=media-libs/imlib2-9999 -* >=media-libs/imlib2_loaders-9999 -* >=x11-libs/evas-9999 -* >=x11-libs/ecore-9999 -* >=media-libs/epeg-9999 -* >=media-libs/epsilon-9999 -* >=dev-libs/embryo-9999 -* >=media-libs/edje-9999 -* >=x11-libs/esmart-9999 -* >=media-libs/etox-9999 -* >=x11-libs/ewl-9999 -* >=dev-libs/engrave-9999 -* >=dev-util/e_utils-9999 -* >=x11-misc/entrance-9999 -* >=app-misc/evidence-9999 -* >=x11-misc/engage-9999 -* >=media-gfx/elicit-9999 -* >=media-gfx/entice-9999 -* >=media-video/elation-9999 -* >=media-video/envision-9999 -* >=app-misc/examine-9999 -* >=media-libs/emotion-9999 -* >=mail-client/embrace-9999 -* >=net-news/erss-9999 -* >=media-video/eclair-9999 -* >=sci-calculators/equate-9999 -* >=x11-plugins/e_modules-9999 -*" > /etc/portage/package.keywords && emerge -v edb eet imlib2 imlib2_loaders evas ecore epeg epsilon embryo edje esmart emotion etox ewl e engrave e_utils entrance evidence engage elicit entice elation envision examine equate erss embrace eclair e_modules -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
