A late and pretty useless reply follows: |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
Maybe you could construct a local set, e.g., @my_noninteractives out |
| 38 |
of the "nearly-leaf-in-tree" packages you know aren't interactive |
| 39 |
(e.g., xorg, openoffice, whatever), and emerge -vuDN |
| 40 |
@my_noninteractives instead of world or @world (which do contain also |
| 41 |
the interactive packages)? |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
Optimal situation for such would be if portage provided or knew about |
| 44 |
the sets @world and @noninteractive, and you could perform set |
| 45 |
mathematics on them: "@world \\ @noninteractives" or something. Hmm, |
| 46 |
maybe chalk that up for portage 4.7 feature list, right next to |
| 47 |
EAPI=4381? :D |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
Otherwise I have no other solution apart from manual script-craftery |
| 50 |
-- emerge -pvuDN world, filter out interactive packages and packages |
| 51 |
depending on interactives, etc from the list, only emerge |
| 52 |
non-interactives. |
