You need portage-2.2 to be able to use sets.
Sadly, 2.1.10.11 is the latest marked stable for ~amd64. (Or was, last
time I synced.)
It'll be nice when it's available, though.
I been using the unstable portage for a long time. Since I built this
rig if I recall correctly. It works fine but it does get updated pretty
regular. Zac is always adding some new frills and shiney things. ;-) I
wouldn't blame you for staying stable but it works fine here on my amd64
and old x86 rig.
Devs don't seem to like bug reports involving mixes of stable and
unstable. I was mildly scolded for filing a bug report against xemacs'
failing to build with libpng15, when xemacs was stable, and libpng15
wasn't, yet. I'm trying to being slightly more conservative about what I
unmask.
Between autounmask and specific desires to be on top of some packages,
it's not easy. For example, stable WINE hasn't built since February
2011... ( https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=354745 ) Anyone who
needs WINE for any reason needs to use their unstable 1.3.x tree. This
isn't expected to be fixed until this coming *March*, when ICU 49 goes
generally available.
