The kde-testing overlay ships with at least 50 pre-defined sets, and in there you will find a set that maps to every -meta ebuild that we have been using for so long. As to why there isn't such a thing with portage, I don't know. You would have to ask the kde ebuild maintainers. But if you would like to have this collection of sets and haven't added the overlay, I'd happily send you a tarball of all the kde sets. -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com
