put sets file in /etc/portage/sets example: cat /etc/portage/sets/qt-copy =x11-libs/qt-assistant-4.4.9999 =x11-libs/qt-core-4.4.9999 =x11-libs/qt-dbus-4.4.9999 =x11-libs/qt-gui-4.4.9999 =x11-libs/qt-opengl-4.4.9999 =x11-libs/qt-qt3support-4.4.9999 =x11-libs/qt-script-4.4.9999 =x11-libs/qt-sql-4.4.9999 =x11-libs/qt-svg-4.4.9999 =x11-libs/qt-test-4.4.9999 =x11-libs/qt-webkit-4.4.9999 =x11-libs/qt-xmlpatterns-4.4.9999 you are done. Really, there is no magic about sets. You put all the packet- atoms you want into a file, put the file into /etc/portage/sets and emerge @setname. That's it. Or look at this: cat /usr/local/portage/layman/kde-testing/sets/kde-4.2 # We don't include kdesdk on the global set kde-base/kdelibs:4.2 kde-base/kdepimlibs:4.2 kde-base/kate:4.2 kde-base/kdeplasma-addons:4.2 kde-base/kde-l10n:4.2 @kdeaccessibility-4.2 @kdeadmin-4.2 @kdeartwork-4.2 @kdebase-4.2 @kdeedu-4.2 @kdegames-4.2 @kdegraphics-4.2 @kdemultimedia-4.2 @kdenetwork-4.2 @kdepim-4.2 @kdetoys-4.2 @kdeutils-4.2 #for developers #...@kdebindings-4.2 #...@kdesdk-4.2 #...@kdewebdev-4.2 so as you can see - a set can be create out of other sets.
