Hi all, |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
I don't know if this would be considered a newbie question or not. I |
| 7 |
haven't really seen it asked, and I haven't been able to find any |
| 8 |
documentation that clearly states this, so I thought I would ask here. |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
Why is the "--oneshot" option specified in the GLSA advisories? And |
| 11 |
how does that affect the different package groups (trees) in portage? |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
If I update firefox with the --oneshot option, I know that it won't |
| 14 |
update the "world" tree, but why? Why is that the recommended |
| 15 |
procedure? Does that give me any benefit? Also, why would a package |
| 16 |
be available as a "--oneshot" and NOT through a normal "emerge -Dupv |
| 17 |
world"? |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
I love how portage unifies the packaging system, and I feel like if I |
| 20 |
run all of these "--oneshot" updates for security fixes, that I'll |
| 21 |
have all of these "stray" programs running around on my system, that |
| 22 |
won't get updated next time I emerge "world". |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
Can someone maybe shed a little light for me? |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
Thanks. |
