If the user is a member of portage he can do any emerge operation as |
| 5 |
long as the command includes "--pretend" or "-p" |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
[d531][waltdnes][~] emerge -pv ufraw |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
These are the packages that would be merged, in order: |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
Calculating dependencies... done! |
| 12 |
[ebuild R ] media-gfx/ufraw-0.20-r1 USE="-contrast -fits -gimp |
| 13 |
-gnome -gtk -openmp -timezone" 0 KiB |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
Total: 1 package (1 reinstall), Size of downloads: 0 KiB |

However, the regular user is not allowed to actually emerge or unmerge |
| 19 |
anything. E.g... |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
[d531][waltdnes][~] emerge -v ufraw |
| 22 |
emerge: superuser access is required |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
The idea is to allow the user to find out what he would have to do if |
| 26 |
he wanted to emerge/unmerge something. |
