Exactly! Pointless minutia, unless someone has knowledge of how the code |
| 13 |
has changed over the last few years, related to those flags that change. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
emerge -uvDNp world |
| 16 |
emerge -uvDN world |
| 17 |
emerge -uDtv @world |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
For sure 'N' and 't' are the specific flags that cause the differences |
| 20 |
in behavior. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
So it was a just a 'moral booster' and a general 'shout out' for those |
| 23 |
devs. If I really cared, and I do not have time to (deeply) care about these |
| 24 |
improvements, I'd go to github and look at the codes that have changed over |
| 25 |
the last few years, specifically realted to those aforementioned flags..... |
| 26 |
So if you look here:: |
| 27 |
|

https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Portage |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
You can see the dev listing for the 'dev-portage@g.o' whom |
| 31 |
collectively are doing an excellent job:: and that's my point. |
