Hi all, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
My question is straightforward, under what circumstances 'emerge world' |
| 4 |
re-emerges packages even if installed and updated? |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
The issue I am having is that 'emerge world' reinstalls approx 46 packages. |
| 7 |
I have not been using portage for a while (was a regular Gentoo/Linux user |
| 8 |
few years ago), but usually in order to maintain an updated system |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
$ emerge world -pv |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
would have showed me only those packages which are proposed to be updated |
| 13 |
(or reinstalled if they are linked against some peculiar library). |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
I never used --update at that time, as its omission was already producing |
| 16 |
desired effect: |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
$ eix-sync |
| 19 |
$ emerge world -DN |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
was already moving my tree to the packages with highest best version and/or |
| 22 |
modified use flags. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
Now that I discovered Gentoo Portage, I immediately replaced fink and |
| 25 |
macports, but found a slightly different portage behavior and now I wonder |
| 26 |
if this is an issue or not (I am not even sure whether I am able to express |
| 27 |
my concern). |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
Thanks to anybody who can eventually address my concern, |
| 30 |
Cheers, |
| 31 |
