Maybe one option (until portage-2.2 is ready) would be to move the |
61 |
informative message to pkg_pretend, that way the message would be shown |
62 |
just after starting "emerge -uDN world" allowing user to interrupt it |
63 |
and run "emerge -uDN world && emerge -1 $(qlist -I -C x11-drivers/)" |
64 |
directly. |
