Might be better to do:- for build in `qpkg --no-color | cut -f1 -d ' '`; do emerge -f $build ; done because the bare qpkq outputs colour control escape sequences and append an asterisk to the output lines if the package is installed. I was being jocular you know, but you seem to have taken me seriously. I have probably got sufficient volume available to get a goodly fraction of it from Wellington. Unfortunately insufficient disk space though.
