OK. Did a little reading on this and gave it a test run. It doesn't generate quite what I was expecting. This is a sample of what it generates. kde-plasma/kde-cli-tools ~amd64 kde-plasma/kde-gtk-config ~amd64 kde-plasma/kdecoration ~amd64 kde-plasma/kdeplasma-addons ~amd64 kde-plasma/kgamma ~amd64 kde-plasma/khotkeys ~amd64 kde-plasma/kinfocenter ~amd64 kde-plasma/kmenuedit ~amd64 kde-plasma/kscreen ~amd64 kde-plasma/kscreenlocker ~amd64 kde-plasma/ksshaskpass ~amd64 kde-plasma/ksysguard ~amd64 kde-plasma/kwallet-pam ~amd64 kde-plasma/kwayland-integration ~amd64 kde-plasma/kwin ~amd64 kde-plasma/kwrited ~amd64 kde-plasma/libkscreen ~amd64 This is a example of what I currently have in my keyword file. # required by kde-plasma/plasma-meta-5.6.4::gentoo # required by @selected # required by @world (argument) =kde-plasma/plasma-workspace-5.6.4 ~amd64 # required by kde-plasma/plasma-desktop-5.6.4::gentoo # required by kde-plasma/plasma-meta-5.6.4::gentoo # required by @selected # required by @world (argument) =kde-frameworks/karchive-5.22.0 ~amd64 # required by kde-plasma/plasma-meta-5.6.4::gentoo # required by @selected # required by @world (argument) =kde-plasma/kinfocenter-5.6.4 ~amd64 # required by kde-plasma/plasma-workspace-5.6.4::gentoo # required by kde-plasma/plasma-meta-5.6.4::gentoo # required by @selected # required by @world (argument) =kde-plasma/kwin-5.6.4 ~amd64 The output of what emerge gives includes a version. The enalyze program seems to leave that out which may lead to upgrades that I'm not looking for yet. What I was hoping for, something that would for example see that plasma-workspace-5.6.4 is either no longer installed or no longer keyworded and can be removed from the file and then remove it. Honestly, I'm not a scripting guru but I sort of think it would be a hard thing to do given that basically every line would have to be checked. Also, the commented part above it would be deleted to in a ideal world. That to would be difficult since not all lines have those above it. Hmmmm. Gonna see what else it can do. Dale :-) :-)
