According to the manual: |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
--pretend (-p) |
| 4 |
Instead of actually performing the merge, simply display what |
| 5 |
*would* have been installed if --pretend weren't used. Using |
| 6 |
--pretend is strongly recommended before installing an unfamil- |
| 7 |
iar package. In the printout, N = new, U = upgrading, R = |
| 8 |
replacing, B = blocked by an already installed package. |

Now, how can the existing behaviour be anything other than a bug? Everywhere |
| 11 |
else, --pretend means that emerge should show what needs to be done if |
| 12 |
--pretend wasn't used. Making --pretend mean something different when |
| 13 |
using --fetchonly seems very messy to me. |

How hard would it be to add another flag for today's behaviour? |
