Rather than adding the whole x11-base/xorg-apps and x11-base/xorg-fonts,
I'd like to build a list of the x11 utilities currently installed on my
systems to add them to world in preparation of the xorg-x11 package removal.

Is anybody aware of some ready to use tool for the purpose, without re-inventing the wheel?

thanks,

raffaele

No. The new default is now /var/lib/portage. Check your /etc/portage/repos.conf/gentoo.conf if you're in doubt about where
your main repo is.

2) Will items in /etc/portage/sets/<whatever> be automatically updated

What kind of updates would that be? You never update world, it is a
registry of what packages you have installed, generally, not a
specific version. A set would be the same.

When did that happen? The portage man page still shows /etc/portage/sets/

Provided the set is in world_sets, all packages in it will be treated as

There seems to be some confusion here. /var/lib/portage is where portage
stores things; /etc/portage is where you store portage things.

Provided the set is in world_sets, all packages in it will be treated as
if they were in @world for updates.

In my case, nearly all the packages I want installed are specified in 6 sets in /etc/portage/sets/<set-name>. When I emerge one of those sets, portage adds it to /var/lib/portage/world_sets, just as any package I emerge specifically goes into /var/lib/portage/world. In fact my world file has just three entries at the moment: things I'm trying before they're moved to a set.

Neat and tidy.

[OT]

This scheme may seem backwards; I started it when I was going through a great many reinstallations and wanted to go methodically, one step at a time. First
a core set, then a broader base set, then xorg, plasma and apps. The appropriate profile would be set for each stage. I'd set up the kernel config after the core, so that the rest of the base packages had proper kernel settings to read. That gave me a bootable system and I'd finish the job in the new system itself.

Indeed, this was my mistake. Has /var/lib/portage/ ever been possible
for sets? Since the world file is there, I could see an initial
implementation choosing that as the logical destination, but I have no
memory of it.

Likewise my memory. I doubt it was ever advisable to store any user file under /var/lib/ -- I'm sure it would cause terrible confusion at some stage. :)
