If you want to stay with 2.1 - emerge -1av `qlist -ICv | grep 9999 | sed -e "s/-9999*//" -e "s/-r[0-9]*//"` Keep in mind '-9999' does not always mean live, i.e. app-text/scrollkeeper-9999-r1 so you'll prolly get a couple extra packages in there. That said, I've had no issues running the latest portage 2.2 rc's. As long as you use quickpkg to grab a tbz2 of your current 2.1 install the likelihood of you doing irreparable harm to your system is minimal.
