And I've designed app-portage/install-mask which sets it up for you. If you want something better, just integrate 'keywords' (like 'systemd', 'doc', 'man') into INSTALL_MASK, and be done with it. Just make sure to store the list of recognized keywords in the repo rather than keeping it rotting inside portage code. -- Best regards, Michał Górny
