Personally I use Paludis [1]. This gives me access to gimme.rb [2] to unmask packages. It also gives me access to config-decruft [3] (another ruby script which can tell me of redundancy or unneeded entries in my config files. E.g.: virtual/c++-tr1-memory: slot 0: virtual/c++-tr1-memory-0::installed installed, virtual/c++-tr1-memory-0::gentoo available with keywords amd64 virtual/c++-tr1-type-traits: slot 0: virtual/c++-tr1-type-traits-0::installed installed, virtual/c++-tr1-type-traits-0::gentoo available with keywords amd64 virtual/c++-tr1-functional: slot 0: virtual/c++-tr1-functional-0::installed installed, virtual/c++-tr1-functional-0::gentoo available with keywords amd64 [1] http://paludis.pioto.org/ [2] http://planet.gentoo.org/developers/rbrown/2007/04/11/give_me_all_your_loving [3] http://paludis.pioto.org/trac/browser/scratch/scripts/config-decruft With Portage versioned atoms and eix-test-obsolete is your best bet. -- Bo Andresen
