Hello, |
2 |
|
3 |
Does anyone know what the story is with the deprecation of the |
4 |
--upgradeonly option on emerge? The emerge man page says: |
5 |
|
6 |
"This option is deprecated and shouldn't be used anymore. Please use the |
7 |
/etc/portage/package.* files from now on." |
8 |
|
9 |
but it doesn't say what these package.* files are supposed to be. None |
10 |
of my gentoo systems have any package.* files in the /etc/portage directory. |
11 |
|
12 |
Also the announcement page on the gentoo site talks about several other |
13 |
new features, but doesn't discuss this deprecation. |
14 |
|
15 |
I am using a few packages that are masked and I don't want portage to |
16 |
revert to an earlier version. The --upgradeonly switch was nice and |
17 |
easy... don't know why the devs had to screw with that. |
