I once had a skimpy doc (since lost) that described operators like + - / that let you add, remove and replace named atoms in a set file. Portage documentation, Part I Chapter 2 Package Set Configuration should have more than you ever wanted to know about sets. :) Emerge portage with USE=doc if you don't already have it in /usr/share/doc/portage*/html/. I use the enlightenment-niifaq overlay which ships with some awesome predfined sets. But source code for some of those ebuilds are broken. I really don't feel like maintaining my own sets for this. Much easier to just make a small set with a line like so: @enlightenment-niifaq - broken_ebuild1 - broken_ebuild2 Can this even be done in portage? I think you can use regex in the sets declaration. I haven't really used them much myself.

Ah, that explains it. I have USE=-doc set globally and it never occurred to me to enable it for portage :-) I have only a few packages where USE=doc is enabled. I'd always sorta assumed the real docs were on a wiki somewhere :-) -- Alan McKinnnon alan.mckin...@gmail.com

Someone should really put up a webpage titled Portage package sets documentation that says try checking /usr/share/doc/portage.
