Yes it happens everytime, regardless of sync. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
For example, if I do say.... |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
emerge net-ftp/lftp |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
It does a bunch of updates before it starts "Calculating dependencies". |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
And for |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
emerge --sync |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
It does a bunch of updates before the sync happens, then a bunch of them |
| 36 |
again after it's finished. |
