And here's a suggestion, if there's a quite time on your network, you could set up a one line cron job to sync your portage tree and fetch packages only, thus allowing you sometime to decide if you want to intall them or not. Something along the lines of: $ emerge --sync emerge -DNuvf world HTH, ...Ric -- Ric de France Ph: +61412945554 (international) or 0412945554 (Australia) == Do you, uh... Gentoo?

[gentoo-user] package.* mess!
Hello all, My Gentoo system is up and running beautifully. Along the way, I've installed many software. But, now, I want to make it all systematic, ie, use the files like package.use, package.keywords etc to list out the options i've used for the different software. Now the problem is that I've installed the software with different use flags and keywords right now the command line. Now I want to make it systematic and proper. I'm just wondering if you people could help me find a good way as to how to go about this. Right now I can see myself doing a very very tedious job of using equery and such and listing out everything properly... a few hours' work. I'm prepared to do it of course, but I'd like any suggestions that might help me do it better. Thank you. Yours faithfully, Mrugesh Karnik -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Mostly right. You'll need to add --deep and --update to the --newuse run as well. Regards, Jason Stubbs pgpB1YQYLmOVO.pgp Description: PGP signature
