If you'd turn off HTML, your posts would be far easier to read... |

Good point on the options after parameters thing. I don't know, but it's |
| 23 |
not good form even if it is parsed as desired. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
If you don't use --update, --emptytree shouldn't update, just rebuild |
| 26 |
current versions. But rebuilding requires build-dependencies which |
| 27 |
aren't required at runtime, and if --with-bdeps=y (equals or space, |
| 28 |
either way, I prefer equals) isn't used by default and isn't specified, |
| 29 |
such build-time dependencies may be removed by --depclean, and won't be |
| 30 |
updated or pulled in by the normal updates. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
Treating bdeps differently in this regard is a fairly new portage |
| 33 |
feature, FWIW. As I follow portage development (on the 2.2 test branch |
| 34 |
ATM, since only it has sets -- I no longer user a world file, as I've |
| 35 |
sorted all former world file entries into sets, which are pulled in by |
| 36 |
the world_sets file) rather closely, when it was added, I saw the |
| 37 |
changelog entries for it, read the bugs involved, etc, and changed my |
| 38 |
make.conf settings appropriately, adding --with-bdeps=y to my defaults, |
| 39 |
so portage always includes them in updates, etc, unless I specifically |
| 40 |
overrule it on the command line (which I've never found occasion to do). |
