If you use portage-2.2, sets provide an easier way to do this. A set is just a list of package atoms, one per line, in a file in /etc/portage/sets, say /etc/portage/sets/gnome. Then you just emerge @gnome. Unlike a versioned ebuild, there is no need to modify the set when new versions are released, the set will always use the latest matching version. -- Neil Bothwick Diarrhoea is hereditary, it runs in your genes.
