I'm not sure what you are trying to accomplish here - looks like you want to stop portage from removing some stuff (per the subject line)? Well that's easy - put them in world. Or with sets, add the packages to a set called DEVjava and add that set to world. Either emerge @DEVjava or manually add the set name to /var/lib/portage/world_sets Because that stuff is now in world, depclean will not touch it. The --exclude syntax you are experimenting with is for installation of packages, not removal. From the man page: --exclude ATOMS A space separated list of package names or slot atoms. Emerge won't install any ebuild or binary package that matches any of the given package atoms. Any as you can see the only supported arguments are atoms, not set names -- Alan McKinnon alan.mckin...@gmail.com

Did you emerge -n @dev-java? The whole suggestion of creating a set depends on you adding it to world_sets? If you didn't do that, you wasted your time creating the set. -- Neil Bothwick What is a free gift ? Aren't all gifts free? pgpM2Dgp5PGpq.pgp Description: OpenPGP digital signature
