You could emulate this yourself by setting up an environment variable |
| 26 |
to pass to emerge, or use an alias like I do: |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
alias sysupdate='emerge -avuDN --with-bdeps=y @world' |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
(Note: I should probably extend this to accept $1 args, in case I want |
| 31 |
to add `-t` or something) |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
If you wanted something to cover more bases, you could make a script |
| 34 |
to do the above in addition to revdep-rebuild, python-updater, |
| 35 |
etc-update, and so on. Given the power and flexibility of |
| 36 |
portage/emerge and the extremely broad variety of needs that Gentoo |
| 37 |
meets, I believe it would be somewhat wasted work to add the option |
| 38 |
when users are already expected to read manpages and the Handbook. |
| 39 |
Perhaps -avuND should be made more obvious in a place or two in the |
| 40 |
documentation as a sort of compromise. |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
Just my two cents, |
| 43 |
|
