Description Andrew Gaffney (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-07-25 14:12:55 UTC 
Currently, there's no way for portage to spit out a list of valid sets. With pkgcore, if you specify an invalid set on the commandline, it will tell you what the valid ones are:

kirara ~ # pmerge -p -s foo
No set called 'foo'!
known sets: ['glsa', 'installed', 'versioned-installed', 'system', 'world', 'vuln']

Can we get this same functionality for portage?
Comment 1 Zac Medico gentoo-dev 2008-07-26 07:57:42 UTC 
Here's how it looks now:

# emerge @foo
emerge: There are no sets to satisfy 'foo'. The following sets exist:

    installed
    preserved-rebuild
    security
    system
    world

Perfect...you rock! :P

This is fixed in 2.2_rc4.
