5 Hi,
6 I ran 'emerge -euDv portage

10 Updates packages to the best version available, which
11 may not always be
12 the highest version number due to masking for testing
13 and development.
14 This will also update direct dependencies which may not
15 be what you want.
16 In general, use this option only in combination with the
17 world or system
18 target.

21 Tell emerge to run in verbose mode. Currently this flag
22 causes emerge to
23 print out GNU info errors, if any, and to show the USE
24 flags that will be
25 used for each package when pretending.

29 Virtually tweaks the tree of installed packages to contain
30 nothing. This
31 is great to use together with --pretend. This makes
32 it possible for
33 developers to get a complete overview of the entire
34 dependency tree of a
35 certain package.
