I don't remember the original post but if I understand you correctly, it should be sufficient to replace your /etc/portage/package.keywords with the output of this command: eix --installed-testing --format '=<installedversions:NAMEVERSION>' --pure-packages You can then use eix-test-obsolete to find obsolete masks and other cruft.
