Description Massimo Burcheri 2018-11-05 08:27:38 UTC
For some eselect modules it would be useful to set the latest version like...

eselect kernel update

...implementing a behaviour similar to...

eselect kernel set "$(eselect kernel list | tail -n1 |cut -d " " -f 6)"

Incomplete list of modules that are switching incremental versions and could use such a command:
* binutils
* gcc
* kernel
* unison
* wine

Reproducible: Always
