Why not simply create a set containing all the ebuilds you are
experimenting with?

[gentoo-user] depclean portect a class of ebuilds ?

Howdy,

Ok, so I use this syntax (in make.conf) to protect gentoo-source kernels,
as I like to keep kernel codes around for quite a while:

EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS=--exclude gentoo-sources

It works just fine.

Today, I have many many ugly and hacked java projects
on my munge system. I have spend countless hours hacking
at java; so I do not wish for any dev-java codes to be removed
by --depclean, but the others can be cleaned up.

I have not been able to find a way to (inside of make.conf)

Insight, discussion and syntax snippents are all welcome, that will
allow me to protect *java* from depclean.
