IMHO Portage should have a way to upgrade all installed packages. No |
| 11 |
need for dependencies checking (--deep) or world file, Just go through |
| 12 |
the list of all installed packages (that we can get with qpkg) and act |
| 13 |
as if there were part of the world file in the current implementation. |
| 14 |
In fact i think such an option should be the default one |
| 15 |

What do you think? Why would someone want to update only packages in the |
| 17 |
world file? What are the advantages/disadvantages of the previous method |
| 18 |
compared to the current --deep option? |
