IMHO Portage should have a way to upgrade all installed packages. No |
11 |
need for dependencies checking (--deep) or world file, Just go through |
12 |
the list of all installed packages (that we can get with qpkg) and act |
13 |
as if there were part of the world file in the current implementation. |
14 |
In fact i think such an option should be the default one |

What do you think? Why would someone want to update only packages in the |
17 |
world file? What are the advantages/disadvantages of the previous method |
18 |
compared to the current --deep option? |
