If you use portage-2.2, sets provide an easier way to do this. A set is
just a list of package atoms, one per line, in a file
in /etc/portage/sets, say /etc/portage/sets/gnome. Then you just emerge
@gnome.
Unlike a versioned ebuild, there is no need to modify the set when new
versions are released, the set will always use the latest matching
version.
