Anyone know a link to documentation on what the syntax is in portage's set files? I once had a skimpy doc (since lost) that described operators like + - / that let you add, remove and replace named atoms in a set file.
I use the enlightenment-niifaq overlay which ships with some awesome predfined sets. But source code for some of those ebuilds are broken. I really don't feel like maintaining my own sets for this. Much easier to just make a small set with a line like so: @enlightenment-niifaq - <broken_ebuild1> - <broken_ebuild2> Can this even be done in portage? doc/portage-2.2.0_alpha85/RELEASE-NOTES.bz2 implies it probably isn't supported: * Package set support: There are several important notes regarding package sets: - they may currently only include simple and versioned atoms or other sets, use conditionals or any-of constructs aren't possible yet Can other package managers (eg paludis) do this? -- Alan McKinnnon alan.mckin...@gmail.com
